but how do you test this restore? For data it's pretty easy to restore in a temporary place, but for system?
I'm sure there are more knowledgeable / sophisticated methods available but I just install the replacement drive and partition it (first 'dry run.') Then I restore, chroot in and run the bootloader installation. I use the same method to migrate installations to larger hard drives.
yes, but this needs acces through an opther install or rescu disk, and most rescue disks are short in tools what I asked is did you test your last backup method? locally (as desktop), I never really backup system. I case of failure, I reinstall the newer distribution, but I have a hosted server (two, in fact) and I maintain rsync backups, but restoring is not easy, and tsting the restore even less. In real, the only case I tried to restore a system, I failed :-(

And how did you mount that? Back to the "only root can do that" problem!
AFAIR there is a solution around fuse, but I don't had problem mounting a dvd as user recently
I don't think this is germane.
I answer this question: Back to the "only root can do that" problem! the answer is fuse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace generally speaking, it shouldn't happen in 13.1 jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
