Hi,
I was just trying out dump/restore. Seems to be a nice package. Most
importantly, I should be able to do a restore even if my system becomes
rather 'crippled' since restore doesn't require X.
My problem is when doing dump:
I had the idea to create a directory containing only symbolic links to
the different parts of my system that I want to backup. Then I can
easily maintain exactly what parts of my system to backup by
creating/deleting the symbolic links.
Problem is that dump doesn't seem to follow symbolic links. A symbolic
link to another directory shows up as a file in the dump (as seen by
restore -i), not as a directory containing files.
Is this working as designed?
How do you maintain a list of what you want to dump? Any smart ideas?
Regards
Gustav
