Backup list

Here, you can select, which partition should be backed up.

Partition:

Type the name of a partition, you want to have on the backup list in this field. (Type only sda1, not /dev/sda1).

Size:

If you estimate that the gziped partition is bigger than the max. size of your CD, select 'big'. This will cut the gziped backup file at the size selected under CD-recoreder options / Max. CD-size (in bytes). It will slow down the the process of writing the temporary backup file on the harddisk. So, for small partitions it's better to choose 'small'.

fstype:

This is only relevant for tgz-backups, not for type dd. It decides how the partiton will be mounted (-o ro -t ... ) to read out the tarball. If your file system type is not in the list, add it to the file 'supfstype', which should be in the same directory as the BackTool.class and restart the backup configuration tool. Be sure, that the file system type is included in the kernel burned on the bootable CD-ROM (or floppy disk). If you choose 'unknown' the partition will be mounted without the '-t' option.
