Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2000 01:02:58 -0500 From: "Michael R. Wayne" Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org We've been setting up FreeBSD boxes for clients to do some combination of squid, email, firewalling as well as some custom services. We KNOW that these clients will never do proper backups. Ideally, we'd like to take a completely configured box and build a CD which would contain a script which, when run, would partition a new disk to be exactly the same as what we laid down on this one (even if the new one is much larger) and do restores of each of the filesystems. The clients get to lose on their data, we just want a fast restore. We'd tape the CD to the inside of the box until they call us in panic mode. This seems fairly atraightforward, I dug through ports but did not locate such a beaast. Anyone got any leads? /\/\ \/\/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
