what program do you use for creating a live system iso

Question

I've been wondering if there were any other programs like systemback. plus i don't have a installation iso for it yet

Answer 1

Almost every Linux distro can boot into a live session from its installation media. This includes all desktop flavors of Ubuntu.

You can use programs like Etcher or Rufus to flash an Ubuntu .ISO to a USB flash drive.

Answer 2

Creating Backup System Image of Bootable Drive

That can be used to install a cloned system made from Ubuntu Minimal.

Caution: The target drive will be overwritten.

• Boot Live USB, plug in Source USB.

• Open Gnome-Disks

• Select the disk you wish to backup on the left.

• Select the icon that looks like a stack of pancakes upper right.

• Click "Create Disk Image" and enter a location where to save the image.

• Use the pancake icon or use Etcher, Rufus, dd or mkusb when you want to restore or clone the image to another drive.

Installer Drive for Image File.

• Use Etcher, Startup Disk Creator, dd, mkusb, etc to make Live USB.

• From another Linux drive, convert new writable partition to NTFS partition using:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkfs.ntfs -f -L usbdata /dev/sdx3

Where sdx is the Live drive.

• Place the OS image file in the NTFS partition where it can be extracted to a target drive when required.

VirtualBox

If you have created your ideal OS inside VirtualBox, you can switch IMG files back and forth to VDI files using: VBoxManage clonemedium --format RAW ubuntu.vdi ubuntu.imgand VBoxManage clonemedium --format RAW ubuntu.img ubuntu.vdi
