YaST backup would have to download them first and then create a backup archive. What YaST currently does is: * Store list of repositories used * Store list of installed RPMs * Store changed files * Store files that don't belong to any RPM Restoring that archive with YaST restore is similar * Restore list of repositories * Install RPMs from them * Restore changed files * Restore the other (data) files. I'm afraid that YaST backup is not a cloning tool. That's what we have AutoYaST for. Internet-less clients /installation/ should rather use AutoYaST with some local source (Backup just can't mirror the sources). I'll check whether backup could be easily persuadable to backup all the RPMs (the whole system), not only changed files. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
