After reading the previous post though, does anyone know if that method would correctly configure the boot sector.
The bootstrap uses a list of block numbers for the kernel, initrd etc. When you restore a physical backup all these files go into their old location so the bootstrap will still work. A file-level restore that puts the kernel and initrd somewhere else on disk will leave the bootstrap incomplete, but that's a moot point because it will not restore the bootstrap itself either. Running "zipl" after the restore should take care of those.
