Disaster Recovery For Linux

• Ways to implement Disaster Recover

  • Script your backup when possible
    • Put the backup into a cron job and have it send you a report each time
  • Script your restore if possible
    • Add a script to the root floppy that will allow the complete restore to run as an automated process
      • you can even script the fdisk command
        • fdisk < fdisk.script
      • automatically build and mount the filesystems
      • restore the backup
      • run lilo to recreate the master boot record
