Search Again: Re: best way to save QDNS data before complete reinstall of OS X? From: Men & Mice Support Date: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 Time: 1:24:45 pm To back up the relevant data, you can use these commands: cd /var tar cf ~/quickdns.data.tar named This creates an uncompressed "tar" archive in your home folder containing all of the QuickDNS data (preferences, options, zones, everything, all stored with the necessary Unix-level file permissions). If you want it to compress the data, change "cf" to "czf" and change ".tar" to ".tgz". To restore from this tar archive, use these commands: cd /var sudo tar xf ~/quickdns.data.tar This assumes that the archive is in your home folder. If the archive is compressed, once again change "xf" to "xzf" and ".tar" to ".tgz". The reason for using "sudo" to restore the archive is so that the correct Unix-level file ownership is recreated. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy Visit the Men & Mice booth (#2525) at NetWorld+Interop in Las Vegas, Nevada, May 7-9. http://www.key3media.com/interop/lv2002/index.php At 12:28 PM +0200 4/23/02, Thomas Wenzl wrote: >Hi all, > >I want to set up a new System at my DNS2 (secondary). > >(It stops about one time a week, you can ping, you can scan open >ports, but all other (qdns, ssh, sftp, timbuktu...) is dead) > >What files do I have to backup for moving them back after a complete >fresh install of OS X and QDNS? > >BTW: what to backup if server is just secondary or just primary? > >Tom >-- > >mit freundlichen Gruessen > >Thomas Wenzl > > >fuer Rueckfragen koennen Sie mich gerne anrufen. > >kon5 communications >dipl. geogr.
