No. You can't read, can you. *sigh* I really *HATE* people like you.
Loath is more like it.
"Consider one can install a fairly robust system (FreeBSD, Debian) over
FTP/NFS..."
Now, *YOU* tell *ME* how that translates into reinstalling, configuring
and restoring all data.
Here's a clue for you. IT DOESN'T. I only mentioned installing the OS.
Step 2 would be to restore configs from backup as it is easier to just
backup /etc and not everything to go with it. Step 3 is restoring the data.
I only covered step 1 as compared to doing the *SAME THING* from tape.
Do *NOT* put words into my mouth. *READ* what was written and not what
you *THINK* was written. Get a clue.
