Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users how to make a full system backup excluding data and restoring it to a new system Post 302479846 by rbatte1 on Monday 13th of December 2010 05:24:57 AM

I regret that I cannot answer this for Linux as I'm AIX/HPUX/Solaris/Dynix based.

Standards? We've got lots to choose from when it comes to making a system backup, and each OS variant has it's own.

Can anyone else answer this?
