I don't know how to restore all of the OS files, but I am not sure it is
necessary to do so. My site has run two disaster recovery tests involving
HP-UX systems. We installed HP-UX from distribution media and then installed
the same set of patch tapes as we had on the corresponding production system.
We then used ADSM to restore current versions of a few critical OS files
(usually just /etc/passwd and /etc/group) and all application files needed for
recovery. As far as we can tell, leaving most OS files in their freshly
installed state never caused any difficulties with the applications.
