I have it working pretty well with both brltty and Speakup. I would also recommend using dd to copy the partition images to a backup me= dium because it takes an exact image of the partition. -----Original Message----- From: Jason White [mailto:jason@jasonjgw.net]=20 Sent: Sunday, May 26, 2013 4:18 PM To: speakup@linux-speakup.org Subject: Re: Accessible image backup and restore program?

There are details on the Grml wiki of how to start it= with speech (or braille, but that isn't our topic here).

Grml provides essentially every recovery tool you are likely to need. My own solution is somewhat different: I bind mount my partitions in a dire= ctory under /tmp, then use rsync to copy everything over to an external dri= ve. This is slightly easier than excluding /dev, /proc, /sys etc., and stil= l gives you the directories in the underlying file system which serve as th= e mount points. I have only Linux partitions to back up as I don't run Windows on any of my= machines. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@linux-speakup.org http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
