Dear John Loukeris,

Once you wrote about "How can i migrate from Mandrake 7.2 to RedHat 7.2":
JL> Our company's file server has Mandrake 7.2 installed.
JL> Can i switch to Red Hat 7.2 without loosing my data ?
JL> There is a soft raid installation on this machine with
JL> two SCSI drives in raid1 (mirror) mounted on /var.
JL> The amount of data and configuration files on this
JL> particular raid set is so big that there is no way to
JL> back it up and re-deploy on a fresh installation.
JL> Further more the file system on this machine is
JL> ReiserFS.
JL> 
JL> Any help is very welcome,

I will not recommend anything except fixing your backup plan, otherwise
you will blame me afterwards :)
