Having backups is half the way to success on a failure.
|
|
|
|
|
Knowing how to restore the systems is the other half.

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
|
|
|
|
|
...).

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.
