Re: Backup/Restore Redhat Linux OS

In my last post, I was wrong (very wrong).

Talking about command line utilities to make backups, dump/restore should not be used (shame). I though that will be as good as vdump/vrestore (tru64).

See:

The star (unique standard tape archiver) command, should be used, because it supports extended headers, for backup acl and files in SELinux enabled systems.

Better late than never.

Cheers.
