Backup root disks
Hi all!

Please I would appreciate some inputs on the following:

I have inherited a SUN BLADE chassis with 6 T6320 server modules, in which there is only 1 root disk in all of them. I need to do a backup of the root disk in case those disk crash. But there is no backup device attached to it. So please can I have some ideas how to solve this problem.

Backing up root disks

gnome-disk-image-mounter

GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1) 					gnome-disk-utility					   GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1)

NAME

       gnome-disk-image-mounter - Attach and mount disk images

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-disk-image-mounter [--writable] [URI...]

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-disk-image-mounter can be used to set up disk images. Both regular files and GVfs URIs (such as smb://filer/media/file.iso) can be
       used in the URI parameter. If no URIs are given and a window server is running, a graphical file chooser will be presented.

       Note that gnome-disk-image-mounter will not mount filesystems or unlock encrypted volumes in the disk image - this responsibility is left
       to the automounter in GNOME Shell to ensure that the same interactions happen as if the disk image was a regular physical device or disc.

       By default the disk images are attached read-only, use the option --writable to change this.

RETURN VALUE

       gnome-disk-image-mounter returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
