when i execute rearbackup , there is

2020-05-28 16:53:12 ERROR: Cannot find a proper UEFI_BOOTLOADER (/boot/efi/EFI/SuSE/). 
Please define it in /etc/rear/local.conf (e.g. UEFI_BOOTLOADER=/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubx64.efi)

in log file.
but Rear backup works well on other servers with the same settings and enviroment.
i want to skip the UEFI_BOOTLOADER , so i blanked EFIBOOT in conf file. but it not work.
i cant not update rear version. because my boss doesn't want that.
can you help me ?

@db2nkyi
you did not fill out
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rear/rear/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md
completely so I blindly guess that actually you do not use UEFI but BIOS
and the

2020-05-28 16:53:09 Including prep/default/31_include_uefi_tools.sh
2020-05-28 16:53:09 Using UEFI Boot Loader for Linux (USING_UEFI_BOOTLOADER=1)

is a false positive.

If yes you can skip
usr/share/rear/prep/default/31_include_uefi_tools.sh
by adding a

return

at its beginning and because the error exit happens in
usr/share/rear/rescue/default/85_save_sysfs_uefi_vars.sh
that contains at its beginning

(( $USING_UEFI_BOOTLOADER )) || return

you could also skip that script by setting

USING_UEFI_BOOTLOADER=0

in your etc/rear/local.conf

In general ReaR 1.16 is rather old and we at ReaR upstream
do not support old released ReaR versions.

SUSE provides the RPM package "rear23a" for SLES that contains
ReaR version 2.4 plus some later ReaR upstream commits, see
"rear / rear116 / rear1172a / rear118a / rear23a" at
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery

If you actually use UEFI on SLES11 you need at least
the SUSE RPM package "rear118a" plus the "ebiso" package
to make a UEFI bootable ReaR recovery system ISO image.
You must boot your ReaR recovery system via UEFI
to be able to reinstall a UEFI bootloader on your recreated system.

If you need to use a newer ReaR version because you actually use
UEFI on SLES11 you should use SUSE RPM package "rear23a"
that SUSE provides as additional package via maintenance update
for SLE11-SP4.

Newer ReaR versions have much enhanced and overhauled
UEFI support with several new user config variables so that you
can specify and control how UEFI things behave in ReaR.
See the various user config variables that have EFI or UEFI
in their names or in their description comments
in our current ReaR GitHub master code default.conf file
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rear/rear/master/usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf

In general see also
"SUSE support for Relax-and-Recover" at
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery
and in particular see also the other sections that are mentioned therein
or preferably read through that whole long article what belongs to ReaR.

Let me ask you one more question.
if I create ISO image backup using Rear backup, do I use only UEFI bootloader ?

I corrected the script as you advised, but there was an error as below.

If you actually use UEFI on SLES11 you need at least
the SUSE RPM package "rear118a" plus the "ebiso" package
to make a UEFI bootable ReaR recovery system ISO image.

And you need to make appropriate settings in your
etc/rear/local.conf file for ebiso, cf.
https://github.com/rear/rear/blob/master/usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE11-SLE12-SAP-HANA-UEFI-example.conf#L13
that contains in particular (excerpt):

# Use ebiso to make an UEFI bootable ISO image of the ReaR recovery system:
ISO_MKISOFS_BIN=/usr/bin/ebiso

I recommend to try out our current ReaR upstream GitHub master code,
see "Testing current ReaR upstream GitHub master code" at

actually , I don't care whether it's UEFI or BIOS.
so I delete USING_UEFI_BOOTLOADER=0
in your etc/rear/local.conf
Then, the backup was successful. How do I make sure it's a normal backup ISO File ?

jsmeix commented at 2020-06-03 09:19:¶

@db2nkyi
you should care if the ReaR recovery system boots via UEFI or BIOS
because if you actually use UEFI to boot your SLES11 system
you need to make a UEFI bootable ReaR recovery system ISO
because the ReaR recovery system has to be booted via UEFI
to be able to reinstall the UEFI bootloader on your recreated system.

You must have replacement hardware available on which your system
can be recreated and you must try out if it works to recreate your system
with your recovery medium on your replacement hardware, cf.
