. umount the disk you want to full backup (let’s suppose in the following steps that « /dev/sdd » is the disk you want to full backup)

. mount on /home/partimag another disk where your want to store your full disk backup

. run the following command :

/opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-sr -q2 -c -j2 -z1p -i 2000 -p true savedisk my-clonezilla-full-backup-disk-image.img sdd

=> as result a directory named ‘my-clonezilla-full-backup-disk-image.img’ is created on /home/partimag (this image is splitted in 2 Go files)
