Re: [webmin-l] Recovery from backup.

[Tom K. <th...@lv...>]

Enter webmin

Click on 'System'
Click on 'FileSystem Backup'

If you used webmin to make them, they will all be there.

I use webmin to do a level 0 once a week, and a level 9 the rest of the=
 time.

I've recovered lost files this way many times, and it really does work=
 great.

On the other hand, if you just used the dump command without webmin, you=
 will have to use the restore command. See Man pages on that puppy (ich).
