Personal backup appliance – pba

2009-02-14

Personal backup appliance (pba) is a great free open source imaging tool.

Using PBA is a quick way to create and restore images.

What took me one hour to create and restore image by using Symantec Ghost, it takes me under 10 minutes with PBA.

Installed Ubuntu on USB jump drive.

Copied pba client to the drive from PBA server.

When running pba.sh was getting the following error message “dialog not found.  PBA cannot start”

“dialog” is not installed by default on ubuntu USB

Running apt-get install dialog have resolved the issue with pba client on Ubuntu.
