Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] How to create an installer/ bootable recovery iso from a running system?

Perhaps it might be worth considering saving a ZFS Snapshot in a remote 
location for a restore solution or exploring barman for a database solution

Intention is to reinstall the fully configued Oi/OmniOS from this iso 
for disaster recovery with the help of the regular installer process.


I have done this in the past with a Linux appliance where this was 
part of the distribution and where you are able to create a bootable 
installer DVD on the fly to restore the system after a crash or to go 
back to a former state. Simple and genious. A bootable USB stick can 
be easily created from the iso with the Rufus tool.
