I'm looking for a way to back up my entire system in such a manner that
if it fails and I need to restore it, I would be able to do it to any
arbitrary disk without having to first install the base OS before
restoring. I'm running -CURRENT.
What I have at my disposal is a CD-RW drive (ATAPI, but that really
doesn't matter so much with ATAPI-CAM in the tree), one disk (ad0) with
only FreeBSD on it, and no other machines to do network backup to.
Ideally, I want something that can automatically span multiple CD-RW's
when writing and can be restored using only the tools on the CD-2 live
fs. Just boot from CD-2, swap CD's, restore to a totally blank disk,
reboot, and it's all as good as new.
Dump/restore and tar (both using cdrecord to write) are the only thingshttp://www.feyrer.de/g4u/
I can think of, but neither of these seems ideal to me.
Ghost for Unix might be the solution for you. It is released under the
BSD licence but not in the port system of FreeBSD. Check the site for
more info.
