Hi,
do you know if rear is working on aarch64? We deployed RHEL-7 for this architecture, but I see that rear doesn't create iso file with backup. What with that?

# cat /etc/rear/local.conf 
OUTPUT=ISO
BACKUP=NETFS
BACKUP_URL=nfs://localhost/mnt/rear/

# rear -v mkbackup

@tcerna We have no aarch64 system available to play I'm afraid. Donation is always welcome.

On aarch64 is not grub2 (as probably expected), but grubby. Is there some support of grubby?
There can be similar problem as on s390x architecture: https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1261
Grubby on aarch64 is also mentioned in issue: https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1358
