Restoring system files<br />

F-10 Basic Troubleshooting<br />

7. Tab to Continue and then press Enter.<br />

The Restore Full System Backup command will prompt you to insert a<br />

backup DAT; this is the DAT that you created when you did the level 0<br />

backup.<br />

8. Change partitioning information if needed.<br />

During the boot process the Default Disk Allocation screen displays the<br />

default values. If you need to modify the values, tab to Configure and<br />

then press Enter.<br />

Note: You may need to modify these values if you have installed new hardware.<br />

Otherwise, it is recommended that you use either the default values or whatever<br />

values that were set when the system backup was performed.<br />

9. Insert the DAT and wait for the tape to reach its load-point. Press Enter<br />

to initiate the restore process. The restore process will repartition the<br />

drives and reload all <strong>of</strong> the system files from the tape.<br />

10. When the restore is finished, the following message will appear:<br />

File restore complete.<br />

11. Remove the DAT and CD-ROM from their respective drives.<br />

12. Press Enter to reboot. The system then reboots to the Administrative<br />

kernel.<br />

13. If needed, restore any incremental backups. See “Performing an<br />

incremental restore via the do.restore script” on page F-11 for<br />

information.<br />

14. Perform a new full system (level 0) backup. See “Performing a full system<br />

backup (level0)” on page F-5.<br />

Important: Do this even if you have not restored any old incremental backups.<br />

Performing a new level 0 backup might seem unnecessary at this point, but it must be<br />

done in order for future incremental backups to remain in sync with the new file<br />

structure. Problems will likely occur if you do a new incremental backup at a later<br />

date and then try to restore the system without having first done a full system (level<br />

0) backup.<br />

15. When the full system backup is complete, enter the following<br />

command to reboot to the Operational kernel:<br />

shutdown -r now
