The worst feeling is not having the backup and the data is lost or must be recreated. Tape is cheap. Does your data cost any less? -- DeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO! Dee...      |

Loosing it isn't probably any better than losing anything else except /export/home. -- Quis, quid, ubi, quibus auxiliis, cur, quomodo, quando? |

| Re: backup and restore If /etc is a seperate mount point, I don't think it would be mounted when the kernel loads it's modules. I expect this would cause a problem when the kernel tries to access configuration information in /etc/system, among other things....
