Dear List,
Could anyone tell me how to copy my current debian installation to a
different external iomega jazz drive, and be able to boot from it in
case of emergency?
I'm figuring; reading some articles after some merry googling, that I
need to copy /boot /etc /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /dev and a bit of /usr
to it and then make it bootable with fdisk right?
Does this mean it also takes with it all the program's / servers I've
currently installed? Like mysql and bacula?
A restore would then be insanely easy if it ever came to that.
You see I'm trying to go down this route, but I cannot get the jaz drive
to boot. There's no BIOS option for it. So I have to boot off CD or
something and then hand the boot process over to the jaz drive. but _how_?
Hoping someone can help me on a. more easily preparing a hard drive with
files needed for booting, including all the programs currently installed
and b. handing over the boot sequence from the cd to a SCSI attached drive.
Thanks in advance even if you are only reading this ;-)
Mark
