Make backups (to tape, Zip, CD/DVD, another hard disk, whatever). You can restore from backups. Use dump(8) and restore(8) for whole file systems and tar(1) for directory trees that are not whole file systems. If you have another machine running FreeBSD in to which you can physically install the hard drive, you can most likely put it there, create some extra mount points and mount and read the FreeBSD slice/partitions. In general you cannot do that from operating systems other than FreeBSD. But, if the reason that FreeBSD crashed is because the disk failed then your only recourse is to restore from backups. So, make backups!!. ////jerry > -- > Best regards, Denis > intraden@mail.ru
