I really appreciate all of the feedback I am getting in terms of being able to get this thing backed up. Just a quick update on some new info I found in a box packed away by my father.
Well, I am certain the software is not tied to CPU or motherboard as the motherboard on the old server failed and I have already moved HD to another Server and it booted and worked.
They are still looking for the install media. They should have it, but the company that did the turnkey setup and initial support may have kept it or it may have been lost.
can someone shed just a little light in the broadest sense, not actual commands, on what is involved in copying a UNIX install from one HD to another, or if that is even possible
I need to be able to make a backup image of an OLD UNIX server HD where I can restore the complete HD from scratch if (when) the HD fails. This server runs the accounting system for a company.
