[SOLVED] Can i use the "btrfs-auto-snapshot xbiancopy" cli to restore an img file?

oh, ok, ... forget all above and ...

yes, you can extract .img file to a partition. you have to map the .img with partition layout and use xbiancopy function from command line with speecifiing source different than default /dev/root:

Code:

sudo -i
modprobe loop
kpartx -av /path/to/my.img
btrfs-auto-snapshot xbiancopy /dev/mapper/loop0p2 /dev/sdXXXX
kpartx -dv /path/to/my.img

depending on kernel package version installed on .img and actual on /boot, after system boots reinstall kernel package if needed

Code:

apt-get install xbian-package-kernel

if you get error already installed

apt-get install --reinstall xbian-package-kernel

or second option is to take the /boot from img file (/dev/mapper/loop0p1) and copy to /boot
