Hello, So, we had a server go boom. Fortunately, we run dump nightly, and the files are copied to a remote server. However, I cannot find any sort of instructions for restoring directly from files which will preserver file permissions and the like. I am assuming it would be one of the following scenarios:
(1) Build a new system, copy over the files and run restore directly to the same drive. (2) Add a new hard drive to an existing system, run fdisk and disklabel, mount the new drive, and restore each file from dump (etc, var, rootdir, etc). (3) An option I am not thinking of. So, any suggestions? All ideas welcome. Thanks! --Matt
