X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 01:06:11 -0000 After a recent disk failure, I left myself a note to add the DNS/DHCP info to my backup. I have a small, over-engineered for my education, network of 10 computers in my house. I run BIND with dynamic zones on my FreeBSD server, I also use the DNS service on my Win2k-AD server. They both are designated as slaves for each other. What do I need to backup? Are just the configuration files from /var/namedb/etc/namedb enough to recreate everything if my FBSD server dies? Or are there some database files I should be keeping also? I tried googling, but either this is way to easy of a question or I'm not looking in the right places. Thanks for any insight, Joe.
