I am following this guide:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/backup-basics.html
and successfully dumped /, /usr, and /var over ssh to another box and
called them root-back.gz, usr-back.gz, and var-back.gz.
But I can't figure out the restore part. Let's say I replace the
harddrive and need to restore the 3 dumped filesystems.
How do I go about this for my 4.11 box?
What I have done so far is:
1. Replace the hard drive
2. Minimal install of 4.11 so the drive is partitioned the same as before
3. Copied the 3 dumped/gzipped files over ssh to the system w/new drive
4. Then I booted into fixit mode, and am stuck here...
How do I restore the 3 filesystems?
Thanks,
Andy
