Topic: Help re manualy restoring

[Greg]

Hello

I am trying to setup a duplicate server running 5.1.2 in the event of server 1 going down and wanted to backup info from server 1 (done) but I want to be able to restore the info to server 2 without going thru the server manager. Is this possible?

Any ideas of the command line to restore it from CDRom?

TIA
Greg

if you have used the desktop backup then...

mount your cd-rom
cd to /

# tar zxvf /mnt/cdrom/

Rewrite confs and load mysql-db
# /sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade

reboot
# /sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

Should go ok.
