Having backups is half the way to success on a failure.
Knowing how to restore the systems is the other half.
Introduction
------------
You made your backup and now you want to restore your
data. If you backuped only parts of a computer and need
only to restore them, it is pretty easy to achieve.
Restoring a whole system is a little bit more
difficult and needs some knowledge of the operating system.
Restoring parts of a system
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Log into your backupserver. Change into the
backup directory you want to restore from
(the one named source.intervall.datetime, like
...).
Do
Restoring a complete FreeBSD system
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Restoring a complete Linux system
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Future
------
I think about automating full system recoveries in the future.
I think it could be easily done and here are some hints for
people who would like to implement it.
