Short answer: NO
Basic solution:
(1) Backup all data from the current machine - daily; then if it dies (2) Insert the openSuSE install disk; you will have to give more answers than just "yes" (3) Restore the safe, secure, backup of your data
You don't really give enough information about your current backup scheme to know what will be left to restore after a failure.
Where is your data backed up currently?
I don't want to do that. I want to create some sort of bootable medium that can restore the system to the current state. Sorry I meant it is currently in MD RAID 1. There is no current backup. There is no need for constant backups. If a year from now the system fails (yes I understand if a hard drive physically fails that needs to be addressed first) a year-old backup will be just fine. What you guys are telling me is that thereś nothing like "Norton Ghost" that will work with Linux software RAID? N�����r��y隊Z)z{.�ﮞ˛���m�)z{.��+�Z+i�b�*'jW(�f�vǦj)h���Ǿ��i����� ��
