Then the restored data will just sit in /mnt/root! What good does it there? Or should I create /mnt/root as partition, about equal in size to the root partition, and then restore therein, and do the old switcheroo in /etc/fstab later, to make it the root partion? I have successfully restored /var and /usr, on occasion; but that is rather easy, as they can be unmounted. With the root partition, that is not possible, of course. Short of having to switch cables on harddisks, is there a software method that will allow me to restore/switch the root partion?
