[BackupPC-users] Restoring a bootable host

2007-01-19 Thread Matthias Bertschy
Hello list, I would like to know if there is any documented process to restore a bootable host with backuppc. This might be useful to restore a host after a HDD failure, or a disk upgrade. This question is for both Linux and Windows hosts. For Linux, it seems easier as we can boot, restore

Hi all, if version 3 will turn from beta to stable - will it be possible to migrate an existing system, with filespool etc., towards the newer version? Is it already now possible to outline what I need to do the migration? Thanks in advance, Clemens -- Clemens von Musil [EMAIL PROTECTED]
