dump and restore
It appears that there are no Slack packages for dump, so I installed from source at http://dump.sourceforge.net. Installation was easy and although I got some errors regarding the man pages, dump works fine.
My question is about restore. I need to restore data from a Logical Volume. My documentation gives the following command line as an example: # restore -r -f /dev/vg00/backup /home yet -r and -f options are not supported by the installed restore. From # restore --help usage: restore [OPTIONS] [PATTERN [PATTERN...]] Options are: -a, --all Restore all filesystems. -l, --level=LEVEL Start restoring from the given backup LEVEL (default 0). -v, --verbose[=LEVEL] Set verbosity level. Default 100. Informational options: -h, --help Display this help message. -V, --version Display program version. I also tried: # restore /dev/vg00/backup Directory /usr/etc/backup is not found. The following directories and files are needed for the backup to function: 1. Directory with configuration files and file lists: /usr/etc/backup 2. Directory for backup log files /usr/etc/backup/log 3. Main configuration file /usr/etc/backup/backup-specs Please, create these and invoke the script again. I would appreciate any hints from experienced dump/restore users on Slack Regards Chris |
