I know that your tool is much better than CPIO. But STAR is not on rescue

Well, it is on the RIP rescue ISO image for x86 PCs.

Together with a wealth of other data recovery tools.

Thank you for the information. I have just had a glance at it and it
looks interesting.

I have seen that the distrib includes STAR and that it can boot on a
USB Key or anything.

Will it work with "Fedora core 4" SElinux ext3 file system?

Anyway, I can try. What I am doing is testing retauration procedures.
So if I screw up, it is not a major problem.

I tested a RIP-CD together with a full star -dump backup
on the system partition of an old SuSE system. The partition
was zeroed and filled with random bytes after backup and
before restore.

Besides that LILO lost its head, the system restored flawlessly.
(The boot sector did not point to the restored LILO body.
So i needed to boot the restored system by RIP's GRUB and
to run the LILO install command. Then it was ok.)

Have a nice day :)

Thank you very much for the information.

Best regards,

FV.

Thomas
