• ReaR configuration files ("cat /etc/rear/site.conf" and/or "cat /etc/rear/local.conf"):

[root@testl07dc ~]# cat /etc/rear/local.conf
# This file etc/rear/local.conf is intended for the user's
# manual configuration of Relax-and-Recover (ReaR).
# For configuration through packages and other automated means
# we recommend a separated file named site.conf next to this file
# and leave local.conf as is (ReaR upstream will never ship a site.conf).
# The default OUTPUT=ISO creates the ReaR rescue medium as ISO image.
# You need to specify your particular backup and restore method for your data
# as the default BACKUP=REQUESTRESTORE does not really do that (see "man rear").
# Configuration variables are documented in /usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf
# and the examples in /usr/share/rear/conf/examples/ can be used as templates.
# ReaR reads the configuration files via the bash builtin command 'source'
# so bash syntax like VARIABLE="value" (no spaces at '=') is mandatory.
# Because 'source' executes the content as bash scripts you can run commands
# within your configuration files, in particular commands to set different
# configuration values depending on certain conditions as you need like
# CONDITION_COMMAND && VARIABLE="special_value" || VARIABLE="usual_value"
# but that means CONDITION_COMMAND gets always executed when 'rear' is run
# so ensure nothing can go wrong if you run commands in configuration files.
# Sets output to an be an ISO file
OUTPUT=ISO
# # Specifies CDM as the backup and recovery application
BACKUP=CDM

@nmaheve Please fill in a correct issue title and something with the description when you fill in a template, otherwise, you make it hard for us to find out what the problem is. Remember, we do this for free! So this is my best guess:

@nmaheve The Grub2 creation was successful, however, you have some missing libraries:

Testing each binary with 'ldd' and look for 'not found' libraries within the recovery system
/usr/lib64/eog/plugins/libfullscreen.so requires additional libraries
        libeog.so => not found
/usr/lib64/eog/plugins/libreload.so requires additional libraries
        libeog.so => not found
/usr/lib64/eog/plugins/libstatusbar-date.so requires additional libraries
        libeog.so => not found
/usr/lib64/samba/pdb/smbpasswd.so requires additional libraries

Try to change the following entry in the /etc/rear/.local.conf file:

COPY_AS_IS_CDM=( /etc/rubrik /usr/bin/rubrik /var/log/rubrik /etc/pki /usr/lib64/*)

[nmaheve]

log.txt
please have done the changes
we have copied complete COPY_AS_IS_CDM=( /etc/rubrik /usr/bin/rubrik /var/log/rubrik /etc/pki /usr/lib64/*)
in .local.conf file

please suggest
