Hi, I have a newly installed SuSe Linux SLES 8.1 on a Compaq H/W with a scsi SDLT tape drive and I am using the Linux native dump command to backup all ext3 type filesystems to tape on a nightly basis, backup works well and I can use restore to verify the backup. My question is in the event of a disaster how do I restore/recover the root filesystem and /boot to a new hard disk from the tape so it can be booted up again with all original system settings. I have experience in recovery of the Sun Solaris system but not too sure about how to do this under Linux. Much Thanks, Regards, Daniel Lim ****************************************************************************** This email message, including any attached files, is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
