Hi Folks!
Although my question is not only Tru64 specific, its more than less
platform-independent I want to ask it anyway:
For backup reason, once a week I´m dumping my local filesystems and
disklabels to a NFS-disk. In case of a fatal system crash I´m booting
from the install CD, escape to the shell and tar a little shell script
from a floppy. This script initializes the NIC, mounts the NFS-disk and
restores the files back to my machine. This procedure works quite ok,
also for LSM-disks, but:
Is there a possibility to duplicate the boot-CD with some changes on it,
i.e. my restore script included, so that it will automatically be
started when booting from it? The question is, how can one manipulate an
image of a CD? Since I´m also using the described procedure (slightly
modified) on non-Tru64 machines (where some important commands don´t
reside on the boot-CD) this topic is very important to me.
Any help would be appreciated.
