The jPC includes several Linux utilities that can be used to backup, restore, clone, and deploy systems.

Depending on your requirements, you can create complete disk images, backup individual partitions, duplicate systems for production deployment, or expand storage capacity after migrating to a larger storage device.

The following utilities are included with the operating system:

• dd - Creates a complete disk image backup. It produces an exact bit-for-bit copy of the storage device, including the operating system, configuration, and user data. This method is highly reliable but can be slow and requires additional storage space.
• sfdisk - Backs up and restores partition table information. Useful when duplicating storage layouts or recovering damaged partition tables.
• fsarchiver - Creates efficient file system backups and restores. Since only used files are archived, backups are significantly smaller and faster than full disk images.
• parted - Used to manage and resize partitions. Commonly used after cloning a system to a larger storage device.
• resize2fs - Expands an existing file system to utilize all available space within a partition.

These utilities can be used individually or together to support a wide range of deployment and maintenance scenarios, including:

• Creating full system backups
• Restoring a previously saved system image
• Cloning devices for production deployment
• Migrating to larger storage devices
• Provisioning multiple panel PCs with identical software and settings

All utilities can be executed directly from a terminal, giving system integrators and developers complete control over the backup and recovery process.
