Re: Bare Metal Restore?

thanks to whoever started this thread -- i'm definitely saving
the replies.  on _paper_.  :-)

one comment about this:

on the server:
 > 
 > BackupPC_tarCreate -h hostname -n dumpnum -s sharename /
 ...
 > 
 > 5000 stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/bin/backuppc_restore.sh


on the client:
 > 
 > nc backupserver 5000 | tar xv


just wanted to emphasize that these are examples only.  the restore
command should really be guided by the value of $Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd},
i.e.:
    tar -x -p --numeric-owner --same-owner -v -f - -C the_new_mount_point

i was surprised when i didn't use "--numeric-owner", and the ownership
of many files changed hands after the restore: the uids for certain names
didn't match on the the client and the server, and a change of ownership
resulted.  craig pointed out my error.
