RE: [PLUG] restoring from a backup tape....
|
I'm in the same boat.
Problem is that the 7.2 CD doesn't support our RAID array,
and that was a pain to configure with the diskettes
However the 8.0 does support it.
We are also setting up a second PC (with FC5) as well.
Looks like I'm going to have to reset everything... Hoped to
avoid re-creating all the user accounts, and all the config files.
