Hello!

I have full backups of a Linux machine on tape done with Amanda 
over the network. Now I would like to basically wipe the entire 
machine and restore entire system from backups which are on 
another machine. Amanda is configured to use 'dump'. 

If I just restore the files to another directory for copying them 
over later, then how am I supposed to replace the files which are 
in use by the machine?

Is there a way to restore, for example, the entire /usr 
partition 'with one go'?

Am I a fool?
