Linux Recovery
As System State cannot be backed up and restored for Linux devices, the following steps can be followed to restore a Linux system:
- Reinstall the correct Linux distribution
- Install Backup Manager in restore-only mode:
- Grant the installer execute permissions
# chmod +x mxb-linux-x86_64.run
- Run the installer by itself:
# ./mxb-linux-x86_64.run
- Enter the original device name, installation key, and encryption key
- Choose option R for restore-only mode
- Grant the installer execute permissions
- Launch Backup Manager
- Restore the files and folders that you want to recover
