I've never seen an total restore to an active unix files system work.
The usual way to restore a root filesystem is to mount the target filesystem
on partition of another disk. Requires two disks. There is a Veritas
technote on this.

Other possibilities involve creating a "dump" of the root filesystem.
And restoring it using a "mini root" or installation system. Some of
this(backup) can be scripted to work with Netbackup. The restore is messy
and depends on your OS.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restoring Root File system !


Hi folks !
I am trying to restore the root file system of a Solaris 8 system. If I try
to restore it on active system, it fails saying "Client process aborted" and
it screws up the entire system. The file libd.so.1 is corrupted or
something, after which the system is not bootable. How do I restore the root
file system? Restoring C:\ on a NT system will also screw up the system??

Thanks for your help,
- Karun
