Hi all,
I currently keep file dumps of all filesystems on our servers on a secure
raid 5 box, lees of course, the proc and swap dir.
These dumps look like this and are done and transfered to a NFS filesystem
in the /mnt/ dir.
server1-usr-full-dump
server1-home-full-dump
server1-var-full-dump
server1-root-full-dump
So I have (all, I hope!) everything I need to rebuild a server should the
hard disk completely crap out, or some script overwrites or rm's everything.
I have never been in the position that this, ( a complete hard drive ), had
to be done.
so the question is ... if I have the dumps on one machine, and I just
installed a new hard drive on another, in a nutshell, what are the steps to
restore the failed server. Can I use the FreeBSD 'live' filesystem? Is ther
a step by step (that I have not found) in the handbook somewhere?
TIA,
-Grant
