Re: [webmin-l] Recovery from backup.

Well, I didn't do a filesystem backup... that doesn't really work on an active/root filesystem (at least that's my experience). What I did was a configuration file backup (which actually saved my butt about 15 minutes later when I stomped an apache config file, which is why i did it). So, I have tmp/backup-config-manifests and the full /etc/ and thus etc/webmin and etc/usermin ... what I'm looking for, is what do I do now? Just copy everything back into /etc/ ?
