I know two possibilities.
One is install fresh from YaST, then overwrite it from backup. I have never tried and I have my doubts. Maybe overwrite using that send-receive trick. The assumption is that YaST will create the proper volumes. Oh, wait, send-receive only copies the root subvolume.
The other is to recreate from dd image. Maybe clonezilla, but it is not a true imager, as it doesn't image the boot sectors (it reinstalls grub instead).
or maybe you should consider the 3rd option..you know..the one extensively documented on the openSUSE wiki https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery

jdd's original post clearly stated that he was NOT interested in fully restoring a system, just wanting to backup the rootfs to have a reference for things like config files It was a fair request, simple, and yet unique enough that there is no clear documentation for that scenario Andrei your contribution to the thread is unwelcome, unhelpful to the original poster, and pointless to the wider world in the light of the facts that full system recovery is not the context of jdd's support request and that full system recovery options are extensively documented. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
