Re: [gentoo-user] system backup with quickpkg

[Bastian Balthazar Bux]

The system is "mirrored" with a in-expensive pc, I was thinking to 
backup the files on this one and one time for all on a media (cd or tape).

As I've never done a bootable cd (read no know-how) and time here is at 
premium the choice is to boot from a recovery cd (there are zillions) 
and then use scp or similar.

Use gentoo live-cd as rescue is prefereable.

are you going to back these packages up to another drive or write to them a
cd/dvd ?  if removable media, do you need to be able to boot from the media
with a gentoo kernel for recovery/restore ?

The following oneline create binary packages for all installed ebuilds.
# find  /var/db/pkg/ -type d -mindepth 2 -exec quickpkg {} \;
adding a backup of /etc is it enough to recreate the same
system/installation ?
there are drawback, known bugs?
