Thanks Alec, Very interesting; thanks for the info. I have been able to mount the snapshot and retrieve the data while the system is running as mentioned on the article but ultimately I would like to restore entire partitions (from a system crash, for example). Is it possible? How can it be acomplished? On single-user-mode maybe? Your help is much appreciated. >From: Alec Berryman <alec@thened.net> >To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >Subject: Re: Snapshots in Freebsd 5.x >Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2005 16:50:18 -0400 > >jlkjlk 64654654ut on 2005-04-14 11:08:46 -0700: > > > How do you restore an entire partition from a snapshot file in > > Freebsd5.3?
