I am following this guide: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/backup-basics.html and successfully dumped /, /usr, and /var over ssh to another box and called them root-back.gz, usr-back.gz, and var-back.gz. But I can't figure out the restore part. Let's say I replace the harddrive and need to restore the 3 dumped filesystems. How do I go about this for my 4.11 box? What I have done so far is: 1. Replace the hard drive 2. Minimal install of 4.11 so the drive is partitioned the same as before 3. Copied the 3 dumped/gzipped files over ssh to the system w/new drive 4. Then I booted into fixit mode, and am stuck here... How do I restore the 3 filesystems? Thanks, Andy
