backing up to external drive
Hi
How do i back up my entire OpenBSD system to an external usb drive?. I just want a way to recover from a misfortune. Also how do you recover an entire system back onto the original hard-drive?. I asked this question on the freeBSD section of these forums. The reply i got had to do with backing up over the network. While i really appreciate the answer i got, i would like to know how you back up and restore an entire OpenBSD system directly to an external usb drive. I haven't found anything about this when googling. |

In the FreeBSD section I offered a solution to backup over the network to your Apple box, so you could use the Apple HFS+ formatted external USB drive Because I don't have neither an Apple (my old Apple II obviously doesn't count), nor an HFS+ formatted USB disk, I used OpenBSD as example.
Code:
# dump -0auf mnt/file.to.dump.to /dev/wd0a Section 1.3 of http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=2232 tells how to mount the disk.

Looks like you got that command mangled J65nko.

Yes, BSDfan666, I did, but it has been corrected. My MP kernel doesn't work well when I am doing a few things at the same time, I mean interleaved.
BTW Nice to have peer review. Can it have your seal of approval now?

Contrary to popular opinion, Google is a poor choice for searching when it comes to the smaller Unix-like projects. This is true for a number of reasons:
