Is there any way to select a partition for the next boot.

For example:

sudo reboot boot=/dev/sda2

I would like to make a system backup script.

grub-reboot

We can force to reboot to a different boot entry in our Grub menu by using grub-reboot:

grub-reboot ENTRY

Replace ENTRY with the number or the menu item title of your Grub boot menu.

Note that this will only work however when we allow Grub to store the last saved entry by editing /etc/default/grub and adding (or uncommenting) the following line (reboot to take effect):

GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
