# rear -v mkrescue Relax-and-Recover X.XX / Git Using log file: /var/log/rear/rear-XXX.log Creating disk layout Creating root filesystem layout Copying files and directories
# rear -v mkbackup Relax-and-Recover X.XX / Git Using log file: /var/log/rear/rear-XXX.log Creating disk layout Creating root filesystem layout Copying files and directories
