What configuration? I'm not really sure what you're asking, which means that it's difficult to formulate an answer. People on this list are generally very willing to help, but their ability to help is limited by how much information you give about what you're looking to do.
As far as backing up a partition and restoring that backup, use tar. GNU tar (which is almost certainly the default on GNU/Linux systems) is quite full-featured and should be able to serve your needs.
If you're asking how to inform a GNU/Linux system about partitions you want to have mounted, you're probably looking for the /etc/fstab file. Try "man fstab" to see the manual page, and examine your current /etc/fstab to see what partitions the operating system knows about (with respect to filesystem type, where to mount by default, whether to mount on boot, etc.).
If this hasn't provided you with the information you need to find an answer, perhaps you could try a bit more specifically. Describe the situation in which you find yourself, and what you hope to be able to do. Bonus points are awarded if it's a question specific to ReiserFS, as this is the topic of this list.
