Backing up
- makes bootable CD/DVD/HDD/TAPE backup of the system
(not necesary all 10 TB (1111 DL DVD ;-) )
- then makes just diferential/incremental backups
(by your command sir)
- no rebuild of boot backup necesary when you change
backup policy
Restoring
- boot from bootable backup
- if you have THE SAME HW configuration - just restore
(all RAID/LVM, HW, NET settings are kept)
- if your HW has gone (thiefs, tornado, floods or you just can not buy the same vintage HW)
you can go throught dialogs to change disc layout (incl. RAID/LVM, HW settings NET ...)
