Yes, I did 'cd /mnt', and restore will restore data in current directory, that is /mnt (hard disk), but create temp files it will in / (floppy) :-( May be 'chroot /mnt' helps, but it needs some files in /mnt (sbin/init, some dev, some etc); Is there any way to restore data to empty filesystem? Thanks in advance, Andrew.
