thats what i wanted to try.
so i created a new pv on the new disk, then I edited the backupfile so
that it has one segment on the new harddisk in it instead of the missing
parts.
and then i tried to run vgcfgrestore first with the -t option to see
if the backupfile is correct , and then without (since the VG is a old
1.0x VG i used the -M 1 option) in both ways i got this error message
Cannot change metadata for partial volume group Data
Restore failed
how can I restore the metadata to the new disk?
best regards
Kai
