Ok, I've successfully restored the system....I think. Basically I installed a fresh install of FreeBSD on the new system. Then, restored /etc, all of /var, all of /usr except /usr/src. Reconfigured the /etc/fstab and rebooted. Everything seems to be working fine....which has me kind of leery. It seemed to be too easy. Anyone ever restored like this, and if so had any issues I can look out for?

We had a server crash, hardware related, and I want to take my dump backups and restore them on another system. The dump files are located on a remote ftp server. So basically what I'm trying to accomplish is installing FreeBSD on the new system, getting the dump files off of the backup server, and then restoring them on a live server. Is this possible, or should I be trying to do this a different way. I cannot restore everything exactly without some changes. The new server is SCSI, and the old server was on an IDE hard drive and I had re-compiled the kernel with all SCSI devices disabled (I don't know if that even matters). Anyway I'm kind of lost and am looking for some guidance. I've done plenty of reading and have attempted the restoration on my own, but keep hosing the new system. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
