S4 Snapshot - create backup and the full image of your system

S4 Snapshot is a standalone tool for creating a live-USB from a running system. It's fork of Refracta and MX Snapshot optimized for use in Q4OS. It also features an installer, so you can perform installation of the snapshot on a new computer.

Keep in mind this app is testing at the moment, however you are safe to install it.

Download S4 Snapshot for Q4OS application https://sourceforge.net/projects/q4os/f … ntal_apps/

Re: S4 Snapshot - create backup and the full image of your system

I'm dual boot, q4os with debian, at q4os i can easily install just click on the .qsi file and then it run installing..
But when I try in Debian it couldn't, can you guide me how to install it to debian distro?

I may be wrong, but I believe that .qsi files are specific to Q4OS and can be installed inside Q4OS only.

Re: S4 Snapshot - create backup and the full image of your system

I may be wrong, but I believe that .qsi files are specific to Q4OS and can be installed inside Q4OS only.

From what i've read, QSI is somekind of installer, created by Q4OS.
My question about "how to", not about "what is qsi"...
I already know that qsi is created by Q4OS, so no need to repeat.
Titlle said "for DEBIAN & Q4OS", thats why I ask the question how to do in Debian.

Hope Q4OS team come to help..

S4 snapshot is designed for Q4OS specifically, it won't work on plain Debian

Why bother with Debian when youre already using Q4OS?  Many came to Q4OS because they preferred the design of Q4OS over Debian.
