Should the backup host die, there is no other alternative then to reload linux. Hopefully you have the backups going to a second drive. You will have to reinstall backuppc, point it to the previous installation then restore from the that data or restore from the other linux box. Maybe someone else has another alternative but this is my DR plan. --- R G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > All, > I have had BackupPC running nicely now for a > couple weeks and now I am > looking for documentation on what the steps would be > to restore the host box > that is actually running the BackupPC app from > scratch. > > Since I am currently running my web apps on the > same box as BackupPC I am > hoping the restore procedure will be relatively > painless.
