Linux doesn't have the file-locking issues of Windows, so backups are just taking copies of every file on the system, and recovery is just a matter of booting with a rescue disk like Knoppix, creating partitions and filesystems, then streaming the tarball from the BackupPC server to the target machine using netcat (or it could be done over SSH).
Bare metal restores are something like this, once you've created the filesystems. On the server side: backuppc$ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate <options>| netcat <targethost> <targetport> On the target side: root# netcat -l <targetport> | tar xvp -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meet PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance Requirements with EventLog Analyzer Achieve PCI DSS 3.0 Compliant Status with Out-of-the-box PCI DSS Reports Are you Audit-Ready for PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance?
