Topic: Unable to boot after updating 8.0b4 to 8.0 release [SOLVED]

Well then,
Guess I will be investing in a NAS.

I don't see how that will solve your failure to boot or upgrade problems. And I can see how it would give you a new set of problems to solve.

Any recommendations?

Fix your problem by installing an up-to-date e-smith-base rpm.

no no no, I have fixed the problems!

I'm just planning for the future now.  Was thinking about either off-site backup or backup in a safe in-case of theft / fire.

The grub post I did a while back fixed all problems lickity split.

I now have no problems, well, I now have normal day to day problems.

Thank you,

Ram

Minimally you should have two backup disks & rotate (or swap) them daily or weekly depending how critical the preservation of your data is. Remove one of the backups off site regularly to cater for the fire or theft worse case scenario.

Do a full backup and then daily incrementals in between for efficient space usage.

The built in backup to workstation or Affa contrib (either to a connected USB) should work OK, although I find Affa handles daily USB disk swaps with less restore hassles re backup set number continuity etc.

Alternatively Affa or rdiff backup offsite via Internet works OK, as long as you do not have huge (ie Gb's) of data changes every day (which take too long to backup across remote internet connections every day).

Then please edit the thread subject to say "SOLVED" and tell people how you solved the problem, in case they see that problem themselves.

Please start a new thread with new Subject for new topics of discussion.

Note I have 4 hd's and they are in RAID 1 with the first sector for /boot otherwise you would just set up 1 drive.
