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.
