| going from Solaris to Fedoria
On Solaris everything I custom added installed in /usr/local (including libs
and logs).
I made a script that tarred up the config files in /etc which I modified to
a tarfile stored
in /usr/local
So, if I did a dump of /usr/local and I had the distribution CD's of
Solaris - I had my whole system in my hands which I could reproduce anywhere
in a few hours.
I could take any generic x86 computer, install Solaris form CD, restore the
dumped tape
of /home/local (all the applications added with libs and logs) and untar all
the tarfile (stored on /usr/local) of modes to /etc. The onlything gone was
the mail spool.
Now Fedora puts stuff all over. My html pages are in /var/www lots of
config in /etc, my mysql data files are in /usr/something.
What plan do people use to avoid backing up the distribution, when you back
up your local machine. I mean, I could install fedora, do a level 0 dump,
and then do level 1 dumps for the actual backups or things I change but I
suspect there are better ways to arrange this.
