but how do you test this restore? For data it's pretty easy to restore in a temporary place, but for system?
I'm sure there are more knowledgeable / sophisticated methods available but I just install the replacement drive and partition it (first 'dry run.') Then I restore, chroot in and run the bootloader installation. I use the same method to migrate installations to larger hard drives. On Sun, 30 Mar 2014 09:09:29 +0200 jdd jdd wrote:

And how did you mount that? Back to the "only root can do that" problem!
AFAIR there is a solution around fuse, but I don't had problem mounting a dvd as user recently
I don't think this is germane. First, when you create the backup, you take care to preserve the original attributes. You must equally take care to preserve those attributes as the system is written to the replacement device. Carlos' test example illustrates this point perfectly. He took specific steps to preserve the original attributes. When the CD/DVD is subsequently mounted and read, those attributes are present and respected. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
