|
|||
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
|
||||
backup directory you want to restore from.
|
||||
Do `rsync -av './files/to/be/recovered/' 'sourcehost:/files/to/be/recovered/'.
|
||||
|
||||
Restoring a complete system (general)
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
Boot the system to be rescued from a media that contains low level tools
|
||||
for your OS (like partitioning, formatting) and the necessary tools
|
||||
(ssh, tar or rsync).
|
||||
Use
|
||||
- create the necessary partition table (or however it is called
|
||||
|
||||
Get a live-cd, that ships with
|
||||
- rsync / tar
|
||||
- ssh (d) -> from backupserver
|
||||
- support for the filesystems
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Restoring a complete FreeBSD system
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
Get a FreeBSD-live-cd (I used the FreeBSD 7.0 live CD,
|
||||
but FreeSBIE (http://www.freesbie.org/),
|
||||
Frenzy (http://frenzy.org.ua/en/) or the
|
||||
FreeBSD LiveCD (http://livecd.sourceforge.net/)
|
||||
may also be helpful. The following way uses the FreeBSD 7.0
|
||||
live cd.
|
||||
|
||||
So boot it up, select your language. After that select
|
||||
*Custom* then *Partition*. Create the slice like you want
|
||||
to have it. Then let the installer write into the MBR,
|
||||
select *BootMgr*.
|
||||
|
||||
After that create the necessary labels, select *Label* and
|
||||
make sure "Newfs" flag is set to "Y".
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, select *Commit* and choose an installation type
|
||||
that must fail, because we want the installer only to write
|
||||
the partitions and labels, but not to install anything on it.
|
||||
|
||||
At this point we have created the base for restoring the whole
|
||||
system. Move back to the main menu and select *Fixit*, then
|
||||
*CDROM/DVD*. This starts a shell on TTY4, which can be reached
|
||||
by pressing *ALT+F4*. Then enter the following data:
|
||||
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
rootdir=/ccollect
|
||||
rootdev=/dev/ad0s1a
|
||||
backupserver=192.42.23.5
|
||||
|
||||
# create destination directory
|
||||
mkdir "$rootdir"
|
||||
|
||||
# mount root; add other mounts if you created more labels
|
||||
mount "$rootdev" "$rootdir"
|
||||
|
||||
# find out which network devices exist
|
||||
ifconfig
|
||||
|
||||
# create the directory, because dhclient needs it
|
||||
mkdir /var/db
|
||||
|
||||
# retrieve an ip address
|
||||
dhclient fxp0
|
||||
|
||||
# test connection
|
||||
ssh "$backupserver"
|
||||
|
||||
# go back
|
||||
backupserver% exit
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Now we've prepared everything for the real backup. The next problem maybe,
|
||||
that we cannot (should not) be able to login as root to the backup server.
|
||||
Additionally the system to be restored may not reachable from the backup server,
|
||||
because it is behind a firewall or nat.
|
||||
Thus I describe a way, that is a little bit more complicated for those, that
|
||||
do not have these limitations, but works in both scenarios.
|
||||
|
||||
I just start netcat on the local machine, pipe its output to tar and put
|
||||
both into the background. Then I create a ssh tunnel to the backupserver,
|
||||
which is then able to connect to my netcat "directly".
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
# user to connect to the backupserver
|
||||
myuser=nico
|
||||
|
||||
# our name in the backup
|
||||
restorehost=server1
|
||||
|
||||
# the instance to be used
|
||||
backup="weekly.20080718-2327.23053"
|
||||
|
||||
# Need to setup lo0 first, the livecd did not do it for me
|
||||
ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1 up
|
||||
|
||||
# change to the destination directory
|
||||
cd "$rootdir"
|
||||
|
||||
# start listener
|
||||
( nc -l 127.0.0.1 4242 | tar xvf - ) &
|
||||
|
||||
# verify that it runs correctly
|
||||
sockstat -4l
|
||||
|
||||
# connect as a normal user to the backupserver
|
||||
ssh -R4242:127.0.0.1:4242 "$myuser@$backupserver"
|
||||
|
||||
# become root
|
||||
backupserver% su -
|
||||
|
||||
# change to the source directory
|
||||
backupserver# cd /home/server/backup/$restorehost/$backup
|
||||
|
||||
# begin the backup
|
||||
backup # tar cf - . | nc 127.0.0.1 4242
|
||||
|
||||
# wait until it finishes, press ctrl-c to kill netcat
|
||||
# logoff the backupserver
|
||||
backupserver# exit
|
||||
backupserver% exit
|
||||
|
||||
# maybe fix fstab: /dev/twed0s1a may not be present in
|
||||
# maybe fix network devices, may have other name
|
||||
umount
|
||||
reboot # hope the best!

||||
