I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it’s been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community. I ran a command that borked my bootloader and had to do a fresh install. Learned my lesson with modifying the bootloader without first doing thorough investigation lol.
Fortunately I kept my /home on its own partition, so this shouldn’t be too bad to get back up and running as desired.

      Heyha ! Read about dd on makeuseof after reading your post, to see how it works.

      Restoring from an image seems exactly what I was looking for as a full backup restore.

      However this kind of 1 command backup isn’t going to work on databases (mariadb, mysql…). How should I procede with my home directory where all my containers live and most of them having running databases?

      Does it work with logical volumes? Is it possible to copy evrything except /home of the logical volumes?
