Root / SUDO Must Be UsedBackupEDGE must have access to all system information. You must log in as root (or sudo -s) to administer and use BackupEDGE. Ncurses 5BackupEDGE uses the Ncurses version 5 libraries. If you get an error relating to ncurses during installation, please run the following command: # apt install libncurses5 Then re-try the installation. Using a Swap File instead of a Swap DeviceRecent Ubuntu-based distributions default to using Encrypted System Drives / PartitionsEncrypted operating system drives / filesystems are not supported by RecoverEDGE. Snaps with RecoverEDGESome Snap Packages may bind mount the / file system to their snaps so they can access / libraries. These need to be disconnected before running RecoverEDGE, using the associated snap disconnect command. Once the RecoverEDGE image has been created they can be reconnected with snap connect command.
