4.3.3 restore from file
I had a hard drive fail and am trying to restore a system backup from a file I created about two years ago. At the time I did not have a tape device to use nor a writeable CD drive so I just backed up the machine to a NFS drive. When I created the backup, I used it to set up another machine with the same configuration and it worked so I am pretty sure it is a valid backup. Now I cannot find the documentation I used to perform the backup (to see what I did) nor the info I used to restore the backup to another machine. Any ideas of how this might work? I have searched around for a how-to but have not found one.
