Re: Duplicate a server
I would never not rely on DVD's for a backup!
They degrade are easily misplaced and take forever to restore. Use your network and another server to make a backup. Of course you should also implement an offsite disaster recovery plan when the server is really important.

Re: Duplicate a server
I want to replicate an existing server to the laptop. So I thought to burn the forst iso image to the dvd. So I burned to the DVD but it is failing to restore at the partition table as /dev/hda1 is tiny.
Thanks

Re: Duplicate a server
It says /dev/hda doesn't contain a valid partition. And asks me to edit the following:
Device Mountpoint Format Size(B)
/dev/hda2 lvm lvm 4278
/dev/VolGroup000/LogVol00 / ext3 0
/dev/hda1 /boot ext3 11
/dev/VolGroup000/LogVol01 swap 0
So asks me to edit the mount list and /dev/hda is tiny.
so what needs to change? I get the command prompt but I don't know what to change?
Thank you

Re: Duplicate a server
Download some version of Linux that runs out of CD (like Knoppix) and boot the destination server with this CD.
on source machine:
dd if=/dev/hda (or whatever devicename stands for the hard drive) | netcat targethost-IP 1234
on target machine:
netcat -l -p 1234 | dd of=/dev/hda (or whatever devicename stands for the hard drive)

Re: Duplicate a server
Thank you for your reply. So can I follow the below steps:
targethost-IP=192.168.1.2
targethost harddisk size: 320G
Source hardisk size:
[root@server log]# pvdisplay
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/hda2
VG Name VolGroup00
PV Size 74.41 GB / not usable 31.09 MB
Allocatable yes (but full)
PE Size (KByte) 32768
Total PE 2380
Free PE 0
Allocated PE 2380
PV UUID Ngsx2A-O85C-PDal-dGGq-9DQe-Wann-1XeHnB
[root@server log]#
1) Install the base O/S(Linux 5.2) on target machine.
2) On source machine:
dd if=/dev/hda2 | netcat 192.168.1.2 1234
3) On target machine:
netcat 192.168.1.2 1234 | dd of=/dev/sda
Will this work?

Re: Duplicate a server
I only able to restore until the following state:
Restoring from archives
Restoring data from the archives, please wait. This may take some time.
Restoring from fileset # 152 on CDR #1
7:47 taken 49:42 remaining
13% done 87% to go
So any idea, why it is stopping after that? I tried 4 or 5 times, still stopping at the same place at 13%. Any ideas?
Thank you
