Morning folks,
I've a question on how most people do restores.
I've got veritas netbackup, and ufsdump. The trick of it is, backing
data up is easy, but restoring it is an other beast entirely.
The goal is to restore from backup *an entire system* to a new set of
disks. Restoring from veritas (data center edition) to an alternate
location is easy, but on the new disks, the / and /dev and likely all
sorts of other system specific files are being restored and and it
seriously screws up the resulting machine.
So I guess, simply, what I'm asking is:
You have a say, a webserver, it dies horribly, disks included.
You have a complete system backup on tape.
You have a new system (with disks formatted exactly like the dead
webserver).
How do you get the data from tape to make the new machine be just like
dead webserver?
I'll summarize.
Thanks, as ever,
-tm
