Red Hat 5.5 live backup/restore
Hello,
I'm trying to take a live backup of a red hat 5.5 64 bit server (with LVM).
Afterwards I want to restore this backup on an empty server, so basicly I want to dublicate the server.
But when I boot the server after the restore, I get stuck at "GRUB _" and changing the menu.lst-file doesn't appear to work
I found the method I used, described here: "http://www.backupcentral.com/wiki/index.php/Linux_%26_Windows_Bare_Metal_Recovery"
But as they mention somewhere on the website, it is apparently only for servers without LVM, which is probably the reason why it doesn't work... or isn't it?
Can anyone help me with this? And otherwise propose me another solution?
Thank you,
Matthias
