[cobalt-users] tar restore

["L Theurer" <lart02@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello
After watching the for months and researching the suggestions in the
archives,
I made my first attempt to test  a "disaster recovery" type backup/restore
to a RAQ4.
 I am trying the suggested TAR and FTP method.
It almost worked. Can someone please tell me what I've missed?
I began with two identical RAQ4's. The source machine has 2 web sites on it.
Target machine status was factory shipped  +  initial setup wizard, host
name etc.
On the source machine, su  - root,  cd  /
tar cpvfX /home/myDATA.tar   /home/myexclude.list  /home
tar cpvfX /home/myCONF.tar  /home/myexclude.list  /root  /usr  /etc  /var
     ( exclude list excludes these tar files)
FTP files to the target machine,  to a temporary directory in /home
On the target machine:   su - root ,  cd  /
tar xpvf  /home/my_stuff/myCONF.tar
tar xpvf  /home/my_stuff/myDATA.tar
The output of these commands seemed to say everything went OK.
