Hi fellow lists participants, I have a hardware breakdown of an old HDD, and I need to revive a system/functionality really quick. I am a noob unfortunately when it comes to backuping/restore suse in simple ways especially with keeping config, users etc. I can still read kind of okay the old /etc/ and basically the root partition. I have already a new SSD at hand so I could quickly setup a clean leap 15.1 but how to make use of old config files instead of configuring all over again. especially keeping network interfaces information, some dhcp server config, some usernames. Cloning/rescuing the whole old HDD currently is estimated via clonezilla for another 3hours or more, so thats why I am wondering if i could just make use of the /etc/ folder and maybe others you guys hint that I would need. Can leap 15.1 installer make use of /etc/ and other dirs when they would be present even if the system would be incomplete Thanks for urgent help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
