'restore' to restore each of these dumps to appropriately sized file<br>systems for the new target system. the source system should be shut<br>down to single user mode, and all file systems umounted except / when<br>
you do this. you can pipe the output of the dump to a ssh command<br>to write the dump to drive on a remote system. for instance...<br><br> # dump -0uv /dev/sda2 | ssh root@target -c "restore -rf - /mnt/var"<br>
<br>where /dev/sda2 is the /var file system on the local system, and<br>/mnt/var is the temporary home of the new disk, freshly formatted, with<br>the new /usr mounted as /mnt/usr<br><br>of course, you repeat this for each file system on the source system.<br>
See the man pages for dump and restore. Don't forget to install the<br>grub boot loader on this new disk, then move it to the target hardware,<br>which presumably is near identical to the original system.<br>
