Title: Updates
Post by: Danny Wong on October 25, 2003, 09:48:16 AM

If I apply the updates, then restore a backup from desktop, am I still patched?  or does it take me back to where I was when the backup is made?  How about a tape backup?

Thanks

If you wish to restore from a backup, you should do a fresh instal of the OS and instal the latest updates and any other add on rpms you previously had installed.

Then restore from your backup.
The restore process will add configuration and user data to the server, not change the OS or patch level.

Refer to http://www.e-smith.org/faq.php3#8q24 for details of what is included in a backup and what is restored.
