Quoting Michael Dauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello,
My planned process for "bare metal recovery" of my backup server is to:
1) install a minimal system + bacula
2) restore all
3) reboot & pray
Or you could:
1) boot into rescue mode
2) create file systems and mount them
3) copy bacula-fd executable & bacula-fd.conf file (fits on a floppy)
4) restore all (no exclusions)
5) chroot to restored system
6) install LILO or Grub into MBR
7) reboot, should boot without praying ;-)
Depending how bacula-fd was compiled and what is in your bacula-fd.conf file,
you might need to create /etc/bacula and /var/bacula directories before
running
bacula-fd.
I did a test restore like that, with some fixable problems. See a
recent thread
"strange file permissions" for more info.
If you decide to do minimal install first for whatever reason, and your system
is running 2.6 kernel, the file you do not want to overwrite is probably
modprobe.conf (modules.conf is obsolete). Bacula docs are a bit outdated on
that one. Also note that /usr/X11R6 on your minimal install ain't gonna have
all the stuff that your full install has. /etc/X11/Conf is Linux distribution
dependant. Not all distros will have it, and some will have it at different
place.
