I am in a similar situation with testing recovery for RHEL 5. What did you need to do to get Netbackup to be able to restore to the /mnt/sysimage? DId you have to re-install the client etc? Did you have to chroot? Thanks very much. Regards, Simon Stanford Really interesting post. I am in a similar situation with testing recovery for RHEL 5.

The reason for this is that we do not install a new kernel when doing a bare metal restore. We allow the kernel from the bare-bones install to remain, and upgrade it later using up2date or yum. When you do your restore, make sure that you do not overwrite existing files because you will run into problems with grub if you install your old kernel from backup. Hi Andre,

Do you mean you erase from /mnt/sysimage the content of /sys and if so did you got rid of the directory also or do you mean you maked it to not be restore from the backup? Thank you for your help André Hi,

I am going to wordcamp on Saturday, and during Wordcamp, I am going to be leading online wordgames on different people’s blogs. They will be silly, fun, low tech games using wordpress blogs. Would you like to host a game on your blog? Each game takes 15 minutes, and you would need to be able to post the game, and keep track of comments that 15 minutes while you are at wordcamp. Go to http://www.bodyabcs.com/bwp/word-games/ to read more about it. Much Love, dk Hi!
