RescueBRU uses an NFS server, portable USB drive, or a local
|
|
directory to store backup images.
|
|
|
|
Showing backups available on media
|
|
|
|
Option 7 of the RescueBRU main menu (Show backups available on
|
|
media) does what the name implies. The available backups are listed
|
|
by name showing the date and time.
|
|
|
|
An important note about using the Local media type for backup/restore:
|
|
|
|
If you use the local media type, be aware that the drive designation
|
|
(sda, sdb, etc.) will very likely be different than what it is in
|
|
the machine the drive is to be used in. For example, if you back up
|
|
the drive using the NFS media type, the drive designation may be
|
|
sda. If you remove this drive and install it in a RescueBRU server
|
|
machine, it may get designated sdc. Attempting to restore it like
|
|
this may result in overwriting the server's image storage drive! The
|
|
rule of thumb is that the same media type must be used for both the
|
|
backup and the restore. If you back it up with NFS, restore it with
|
|
NFS. If you back it up with Local, restore it with Local.
