Recover from crash ?

Hi folks, this is just theoretical. But what would be your desaster recovery recipe to get up and running _from tape_ in no time after a complete hardware crash. I see the following factors (any I've forgotten? ): 1) Boot Sector 2) Partions 3) Files Obviously some image would be preferable. Have any of you dd'd to tape yet ? Any readymede stuff around. Just looking for pointers and experiences in this. Regards Dan -- buddha 2.4.20-4GB 12:39pm up 23:15, 4 users, load
