I attempted to clone my system (based on Sparky Multimedia 4.4) in preparation for installing it on another computer using sparky backup system.
However, after selecting the user and running the program the following message appeared:
The compressed file system is larger than the iso 9660 specification allows for a single file.
Try to reduce the amount of data you are backing up and try again.
The last time I did this (years ago) the resulting file was about 3.5 Gb, which is not more than the iso specification.
But this time, the
/home/sparkybackup-sys/sparkybackup-sys/ISOTMP/live
is 6Gb.
gparted shows me that the 50 Gb / partition has 14.7 Gb in it and the 100 Gb /home partition has 55.1 Gb.
(And that is without my data, which is on another partition).
I assume that is the problem.
Any idea how to solve it?
What can I do to backup this system and transfer it to another computer?
Also, when will Sparky Multimedia 4.5 be ready?
Thanks in advance for your response.
