Hi all I was wondering is it possible to restore a partition to another, which has= a=20 different device name? Confusing right? So here's what I mean. Suppose I backup partition hda3 (my /data) Then I want to restore this partition into another disk (another system=20 actually), but the partition I want to use as /data is hdb2. Of course, hdb= 2=20 is bigger than hda3, and they both are ext3 Is this possible? Do I have to manually change anything to the files contai= ned=20 in my image? PS. Please CC here: clo...@li... =2D-=20 Kind regards Spiros =2D- gpg key URL: http://members.hellug.gr/sng/gpg-kde-el.html |

Yes, it's possible. rename the file name in image dir, say, hda3.xxx -> hdb2.xxx then when you restore, remember to choose "-k", which will NOT re-create the partition table, and maybe "-r", and "-t". You just have to know what you want or not. Remember to backup the data in the target device! It's always worthy to do that. Good luck. Steven.

Is there any way to make this work where the partitions on the source disk were really one copy of raid1 mirrors (md devices)? -- Les Mikesell les...@gm... |

Yes, I think it is possible, however, you have to deal with the md devices first. Once you have that, just mount it as /home/partimag. Then run "ocs-sr -x" to save or restore the image. Steven.
