Cant recover backup from backup2ws
« on: April 24, 2005, 08:31:46 AM »
Hello Guys

I have a problem with Backup 2 Workstation; all I need is to move my installation from a SCSI disk to an IDE disk due to space problems.

This is what I do, I run a backup2ws ”disaster recovery”, and after that a ”standard” backup.

My old disk is a 17 Gb SCSI and my new is a 80 Gb IDE.

Here is the problem, after restore “disaster recovery” all Ibays appear and there are data in all folders BUT, the user part is not working, I can’t lock on mail, webmail etc.
All users are restored and appear in “server manager”

Standard backup: /bin,/boot,/dev,/etc,/home,/initrd,/lib,/opt,/quota.group,/quota.user,/root,/sbin,/service,/usr,/var
Gives 20 Gb Backup (from a 17 Gb disk)

Disaster Backup:
 /home,/etc/e-smith/templates-custom,/etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom,/etc/group,/etc/gshadow,/etc/passwd,/etc/shadow,/etc/smbpasswd,/etc/ssh,/opt,/root
Gives 5.5 Gb backup

Pls Help

Thanks

Do you run the "advanced Disaster Recovery restore options" after the restore (ie post-upgrade & reboot) ?
