I'm pretty new to the BSD and NIX world, and have never had to perform a system recovery or restore. =20 I did a full backup of a server with tar using the following command: tar cpzf servername`date +%m%d%y`.tgz / I'm trying to restore it on another server with the following command: tar -xzpf /path to backup file The problem I'm running into is that the original system is has an IDE harddrive, and the new system is SCSI. I'm getting the following errors: dev/ad0: Can't restore device node: No such file or directory dev/ad0s1: Can't restore device node: No such file or directory dev/ad0s1a: Can't restore device node: No such file or directory dev/ad0s1b: Can't restore device node: No such file or directory dev/ad0s1c: Can't restore device node: No such file or directory dev/ad0s1d: Can't restore device node: No such file or directory dev/ad0s1e: Can't restore device node: No such file or directory Is there an easy way around this? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Cody
