I need to make a backup my Debian VPS server and create it copies on Virtual Machines. I'm following instructions on page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR.
Steps:
- I've done a tar archive of entire OS,
- I've copied it into host machine,
- I've created Debian virtual machine,
- I've booted Debian 8 Jessie livecd on VM,
- I've partitioned a disk,
- I've mounted root partition on
/mnt, - I've entered to dir
/mnt, - I've copied
backup.tar.gzover ssh to/mnt, - I've extracted archive
backup.tar.gzin/mnt, - I've executed command
for f in dev dev/pts proc ; do mount --bind /$f /mnt/$f ; done, - I've chrooted into
/mnt, - I've executed command
dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc, - I've mounted /dev/sda1 in
/boot, - I've executed
grub-install /dev/sda.
I'm giving an device node not found error at last step:
root@debian:/# grub-install /dev/sda
Installing for i386-pc platform.

Can anyone help me?
