Once we know the properties adding rules in udev.
Edit file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="vmxnet3", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="Xeth$attr{ifindex}"
After reboot you wil see it being eth2 being renamed to Xeth2

Save and Restore using partimage
partimage -b -z1 -o -d save /dev/sdb2 /recovery/trixorg.gz
partimage -b restore /dev/sda2 /recovery/trixorg.gz
1. Destination partition should be larger or same of original file even though
Space occupied is less.
2. While saving image destination partition should be mounted where you are about to store image otherwise temp error.
Save and Restore using fsarchiver
To save to image:
Fsarchiver –j2 –v savefs fs_trixbox /dev/hda2
To restore from image
fsarchiver –j2 –v restfs fs_trixbox.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sda1
