(re-)Creating a filesystem on the DVD-RAM disks
|
Backup of the only the Redhat Linux system area onto 4.5 Gig DVD-RAM disks using mondorescue 1.4xBecause we are using "dd" to write to the DVD-RAM device, it is OK for the DVD-RAM to be in IDE mode. Trick here is to exclude the data directories using the -E option.
mondoarchive -g -m -s4280m -S /tmp -T /tmp -L -E "/web_disc /web_logs" \ This should easily fit onto a single single-sided 4.5Gig DVD-RAM disk. Refer to the CD-Restore (which is very similar) To restore from the DVD, either do an interactive restore, or just boot up the system with the DVD-RAM disc in the drive. (caveates: for interactive partial restoring from backup DVD-RAM disks created with mondorescue 1.4x, the dvdram device should be aliased to /dev/cdrom: e.g, ln -sf /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom) |
Backup web_logs onto 4.5 Gig DVD-RAM disks using mondorescue 1.4xBecause we are using "dd" to write to the DVD-RAM device, it is OK for the DVD-RAM to be in IDE mode. Trick here is to only include the data directory on interest using the "-I" option.
mondoarchive -g -m -s4280m -S /tmp -T /tmp -L -I "/web_logs" -Oi -d /tmp/isos \ This should fit onto two single-sided 4.5Gig DVD-RAM disk.
