I generally recommend testing disaster recoveries befor eyou really need them. In your case, I don't expect anything useful to happen, not knowing what wd0h is. Output of 'fdisk wd0' may help at this time, also 'disklabel wd0'. > Do I have to slurpdisk the extended partition first (if the > computer/partitions are all destroyed) and then slurpdisk all > or the ones, which I would like to resotre afterwards, which > resides in thate extended (4th primary) partition the logical > volumes? If your whole machine gets destroyed, I strongly recommend you do not use uploadpart/restorepart, but uploaddisk/restoredisk, as only that will restore your MBR=partition table. Without a partition table, your partition data is useless. > uploadmbr 192.168.2.16 rwd0mbr.gz wd0mbr bs=512 count=63 > or something like that? I agree. It's not there, though.
