Maybe "rear" is an appropriate solution for you?

I would include LVM and mdadm info as well, since I use those
features. I encourage you to look at what long-lived tools, such as clonezilla, write into their archive directories. It's impressive.
If you zero out all free space on all of your HDD partitions (dd
bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=/path/deleteme; rm /path/deleteme) or use 'fstrim' for SSD's, you could use dd to image with fast & light compression (lzop or my current favorite, pzstd) and get maximum benefit of a bit-by-bit archival copy.

Short of backing up entire disks using dd, I'd like to collect all
required information to make sure I can restore partitions, disk information, UUIDs and anything else required in the event of losing a disk.
So far I am collecting information from:
- fdisk -l
- blkid
- lsblk
- grub2-efi.cfg
- grub
- fstab
Hoping that this would supply me with /all/ information to restore a
system - with the exception of installed operating system, apps and data.
I would appreciate any and all thoughts on the above! _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Thank you, that tool is new to me but looks very interesting!
