All of them show how to begin backup and suggest where to put backup, but now the important part never seems to be told in detail. How to restore what you backed up. If you had to reinstall the OS again ,or even a similar one, how do you do that . A mass full of data in one reinstall. Is there a certain way to do this? Thank you... </p>kaykavMon, 17 Oct 2011 19:13:41 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/2722/how-to-restore-backupbaremetalrestorehttp://linuxexchange.org/questions/363/backup-my-linux-box-to-a-windows-server<p>I am new to Linux and I have read the post "which backup tool".</p> <p>After looking at some of the suggestions in existing post, I can not seem to find something that does what I want to do, at least not easily. Someone told me there was a command line DOS type utility I could use but I haven't seen anything like that.</p> <p>I have a Linux Server running:</p> <p>Linux version 2.6.9-89.0.23.ELsmp (mockbuild@builder10.centos.org) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-11)) #1 SMP Wed Mar 17 06:55:21 EDT 2010</p> <p>The Linux Box host vmware's Server which in turn host a virtual machine.</p> <p>I need to backup the entire Linux Box to my Windows 2003 Server with the goal of being able to do a cold metal restore should the linux box fail. I am looking for something that I can schedule to do a full backup and has a restore utility built into it.</p> <p>Thanks --JC</p>JCFri, 07 May 2010 12:51:54 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/363/backup-my-linux-box-to-a-windows-serverbackupcoldmetalrestorebaremetalrestorewindows
