Title: SME configuration backup and restore
Post by: Sylvain on November 05, 2002, 01:35:10 AM

Hello Guys,

I wish to restore system configuration and users account from a tape backup to a fresh new SME 5.5 server.

- I want to keep SME configuration
- I want to keep user / password account

I do not want to do a full restore cause too many broken package.

I need help,

Which files do I need to restore?
What do I need to type at the command line after the files restore?

Thanks in advance

Sylvain

Use the manager restore from tape feature (you'll need to configure backup first). That restores the system configuration and user accounts, but doesn't restore any software packages.
