Restore procedure
Whenever it is necessary to go back to a saved configuration or to restore the working partition, one out of two
possible procedures can be performed.
Either:
•
When booting A
RGUS
the option
backup
can be selected. It either must be selected from the graphical menu
when the system comes up, please refer to section
or the option must be typed as soon as
the
lilo
prompt appears. This is dependent on the settings chosen by means of the boot loader utility,
please refer to section
Or:
•
When A
RGUS
is running, enter into the command line
service eosxs
with the option
restore
to boot
from the backup partition:
service eosxs restore
In both cases you have to be logged in locally on the A
RGUS
and the X server must not be started.
Before the restore procedure actually starts, date and time of the backup is displayed and you will be prompted
to confirm the restore procedure by typing
y
.
Following that, the A
RGUS
boots from the backup partition. After booting it copies back the version of the working
partition that is stored on the backup partition to the working partition. This means that the currently used work-
ing partition becomes overwritten. When copying is finished, A
RGUS
reboots automatically, this time it boots from
the working partition and is therewith operable again, based on the state of system and configuration from the
time of the backup.
Whenever booting from the backup partition the content of the working partition becomes
overwritten with the backup. This means the current content of the working partition gets
lost!
