Help With Restoring

[mhanze]

Hi All,

       I have been using rsync to backup to a central server with a 7 day incremental script on 2 Redhat boxen.


#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
DAY=`date +%A`
export PATH DAY

[ -d /root/emptydir ] || mkdir /root/emptydir
rsync --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh --delete -a /root/emptydir/ CENTRAL_SERVER_IP:/backup2/BACKED_UP_SERVER_FQDN/$DAY
rmdir /root/emptydir

rsync --delete --stats --compress --recursive --times --perms --links --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh --exclude "tmp/" --exclude "dev/" --exclude "proc/" --exclude "backups/ " --delete-excluded --backup --backup-dir=/backup2/BACKED_UP_SERVER_FQDN/$DAY -a /* CENTRAL_SERVER_IP:/backup2/BACKED_UP_SERVER_FQDN/current && echo "Daily backup ran on `date`" >> /var/log/backup.log

# End Script


This has been working fine and I've even been able to restore files using scp from time to time. now I'm faced with a bare metal recovery cause of a botched upgrade from Redhat 7.1 to 8.0 that failed half way through. This machine was still accessible via console and ssh (putty). I signed in via ssh and ran...

# cd /
# scp -r CENTRAL_SERVER_IP:/backup1/BACKED_UP_SERVER_FQDN/current/.* .

This was running for a while and then i lost my connection and cant reconnect. I won't have console access till the morning but any advice would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks
