Hi all, I have to do a complete restore of a Debian server from one of our backup tapes. The whole server was rendered useless due to a sysadmin mishap and has since been rebuilt. If possible I would like to restore the server exactly the same as it was before the mishap. So basically I would just like any comments on the method that I plan to use to rebuild it. If anyone can think of any issues that I have overlooked, or has any suggestions about my method than these would be very appreciated.
My thoughts: -rebuild the box with same Debian install and same partitioning (already done). -build Amanda and then restore all the data to an empty directory. (are there any issues with restoring from a fresh install of Amanda? Obviously there will be no index files on the debian server) -boot the box into rescue mode from the CD. (mount HDD's etc) -copy the data to root level and put in to all relevant partitions. -chroot to HDD and run lilo. (to reset the boot record). -reboot box and keep fingers crossed. Is there anything that I am overlooking. Any easier ways to do this? All comments are graciously accepted. Chris Freeman
