You really don't want to restore from /. If you had problems at the point you did the backup you'll drag them back into your system.

You would be better served following JGT's advice and selectively restoring the /u1 (that was the one, wasn't it?) .

There may be a problem with JGT's advice about restoring stuff to /oldroot. It depends on how much space is left on root after u1 is pulled back in and how much is stored on the tape. Doing a full restore to oldroot is going to pull /u1 into oldroot too. You may need to do a partial restore to get just those things you may need.

I'll put in a plug here for backupedge or lonetar. They are a better backup method than tar due to verifications and reporting capabilities. I've used both but find lonetar's reporting to create more messages than I need.

Building Custom Topologies(3)				     Hardware Locality (hwloc)				     Building Custom Topologies(3)

NAME
Building Custom Topologies - Functions int hwloc_custom_insert_topology (hwloc_topology_t newtopology, hwloc_obj_t newparent, hwloc_topology_t oldtopology, hwloc_obj_t oldroot) hwloc_obj_t hwloc_custom_insert_group_object_by_parent (hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_obj_t parent, int groupdepth) Detailed Description A custom topology may be initialized by calling hwloc_topology_set_custom() after hwloc_topology_init(). It may then be modified by inserting objects or entire topologies. Once done assembling, hwloc_topology_load() should be invoked as usual to finalize the topology. Function Documentation hwloc_obj_t hwloc_custom_insert_group_object_by_parent (hwloc_topology_ttopology, hwloc_obj_tparent, intgroupdepth) Insert a new group object inside a custom topology. An object with type HWLOC_OBJ_GROUP is inserted as a new child of object parent. groupdepth is the depth attribute to be given to the new object. It may for instance be 0 for top-level groups, 1 for their children, and so on. The custom topology newtopology must have been prepared with hwloc_topology_set_custom() and not loaded with hwloc_topology_load() yet. parent may be either the root of topology or an object that was added earlier through hwloc_custom_insert_group_object_by_parent(). int hwloc_custom_insert_topology (hwloc_topology_tnewtopology, hwloc_obj_tnewparent, hwloc_topology_toldtopology, hwloc_obj_toldroot) Insert an existing topology inside a custom topology. Duplicate the existing topology oldtopology inside a new custom topology newtopology as a leaf of object newparent. If oldroot is not NULL, duplicate oldroot and all its children instead of the entire oldtopology. Passing the root object of oldtopology in oldroot is equivalent to passing NULL. The custom topology newtopology must have been prepared with hwloc_topology_set_custom() and not loaded with hwloc_topology_load() yet. newparent may be either the root of newtopology or an object that was added through hwloc_custom_insert_group_object_by_parent().
