We have a Netra i5 as our internet gateway machine and wish<br />
to have a disaster recovery proceedure.We can use ufsdump and ufsrestore it seems, but we have no tape drive on this box.Is there a way I can restore from a file.We have 2 filesystems root and /export/home we backup to /export/home via ufsdump so I understand the proceedure to be something like this :<br />
<br />
boot from CD<br />
mount /<br />
mount /export/home<br />
ufsrestore from /export/home/ufsdump.root to /<br />
ufsrestore /export/home from /export/home/ufsdump.expor<wbr />thome <br />
<br />
So root seems fine, but /export/home!! can I ufsrestore a filesystem from itself ???<br />
<br />
Should I be using remote tapes, if so can I connect to these<br />
while just booting from CD??<br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
