Backups and booting Q?

Postby Socaltom » Sun Dec 23, 2012 2:35 pm

I'm putting together a back up of my FS, and I want to make sure I understand how the boot process works so I don't miss anything. I think I understand but I would like confirmation.

[ I'm talking specifically about the V2 and V3 ( oxnas) pogoplugs]

When we power on the Plug, the firmware contains the bootloader, so there isn't any sort of bootloader in /dev/sda1?
I'm planning on doing an rsync of my boot fs for each of my plugs, I just want to be sure I'm not missing something if I do it that way.
Thanks
Tom

Essentially. Since you can outright just re-image a drive and have the device "back".
