Hello,


I would like to setup a system recovery strategy on our linux system
(RedHat 7.2).
I am really familar with dump/restore but apparently it is not
recommended with linux.
My idea was to put a dedicated local IDE disk and run a script invoking
CPIO to save the system
(/ /boot /export) every week on this disk.
The problem is that I do'nt know CPIO enough.
Can somebody advice me or send me an example of CPIO for doing both
backup and restore.

Any other suggestion will be welcome.


Best Regards.
