Description

This is a script intended to help backup and restore when migrating to another box with the same SME version or newer.

It will create an archive similar to the console usb backup, hence allowing console restore at startup directly after install.

It will backup all the known configurations and files for every installed contribs.

It will also backup some user space known to potentially have manually added files.

It will create a list of rpm currently installed and break them down to ease the install later.

A WIP will be to download the rpms from the repos to allow quick reinstall. Another script will be used later to allow download from a more recent version.

There is also an exclusion list. By default /home/e-smith/files is in this exclusion list so you can have a faster server backup and restore. It assumes you backup those files separately and restore them manually later (or have them on a separate mount point you can easily remount latter), as the server can boot without them on install.


Installation

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-mi
