Need to restore Fedora 16 from a backup

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I am a newcomer, and I hope that someone will help me find out what is wrong, and learn how to do this. I have been performing backups using f -> Administration -> Backup. The backup location is a second internal HD, NTFS partition. It creates about 50 files of the .gz type, each about 50M in size. I selected back up of everything in the file system /, but excluded /media, /tmp, /home and Trash. Today it was necessary to do a restore. So I used the same application, requested a restore to the original location. It said the system had been successfully restored. I did a res (HowTos)

Hi all,

I have had my Note II for a day now and I love it but I seem to have an issue. I rooted and installed CWM 6.0.1.5 (modified version by Philz I believe) using Odin and I of course made a backup of my stock rooted ROM before I started flashing anything but when I tried to restore my Nand it says that it cant find the files and cant open the location.

I am going to be using the holidays to switch over my laptop from 11.1 to 11.2. However, this laptop is mission-critical, and it's been in use for years, so I have everything on it, including all the latest 11.1 updates, stuff from non-opensuse repositories, etc.

ext4 backup 3 years 10 weeks ago

I am in the process of installing 11.2 (X86-64). By default the root partition was formatted as ext4. I am also thinking of possibly using raid 1 for some partitions (disks). While doing some research for this I discovered an item that stated the dump package (dump restore) does not support ext4 and worse may appear to dump but not be able to restore.

Hi, I am more familiar with windows so far. There I regularly use Ghost to backup my OS partition.

Is there anything similar on the Linux side?

I have used "dd", but this does not offer to search the file and restore dedicated files I probably have lost.

I can use "tar", but it is not on a partition-level.

Since my phone got upgraded to ZVD by LG (with some Verizon add-ons like the power-on sound which is cool :)) and I wanted my data back from GSE, I went into CWM and did an advanced restore from the backup I did prior to returning the phone and it restored all my data, apps, wallpaper, etc back to how they were.

Restore backup with Rsnapshot 37 weeks 6 days ago

The system is ubuntu server 12.04.

I am using rSnapshot to back up the system.

I now want to restore everything in the home folder.

I am restoring from an external HDD: /media/backup/backup_disk_2/server3/hourly.0/localhost/home

What's the restore command?

I want to be able to backup and restore my home directory of a remote account.

The command I use are:

Backup

ssh myuser@myuser.server.com "tar jcf - ." > backup.tar.bz2

Restore

cat backup.tar.bz2 | ssh myuser@myuser.server.com "tar jxf - ."

I'd like to be sure that all the files are restored or none, even if the server gets rebooted in the middle of a restore.

Any way to achieve what I

We are using Net Backup as a corporate solution. Incremental backups are taken daily during the week and then a weekly backup is done at the weekend (Saturday).

My colleague has restored a folder to how it stood at 14:00 on a Tuesday. The problem is that the restore is taking files from the weekend backup if they did not exist at that point in time of the restore.
