Backup solutions and burning CD

[Padiyath Sreekumaran]

  Hello,

    I have the following file File system on one of our server.

 

    #df -k

    /dev/sda2              2016044    295064   1618568  16%         /

    /dev/sda1               101089     21205     74665  23%            /boot

    /dev/sda5              6048320   2045940   3695140      36%    /usr

    /dev/sda7              2016016     80940   1832664         5%    /var

    /dev/sda9             13693896   2352216  10646068  19%     /usr/diskx

 

    I want to backup up these FS and and burn on CD's. I am using Raid 1

    For these FS. But we had a controller crash and it took 3 days to repair

    the system. Now I would like to know which command I should use to
backup

    (dd,tar,dump,cpio etc.) and how I write these information to  CD's and
make

    it bootable. So that next time I can have a system with a very short
period.

    Iam new to Linux . So please give a detailed procedure if possible.I
will

    appreciate very much your help.

 

     Thanks in advance and with regards,

            Sreekumar
