| | 35 | * to restore a backup file to the zfs volume do the following : |
| | 36 | * You need to load FreeBSD from the cd as per usual, only the minimum install is required |
| | 37 | * When you load FreeBSD on a new drive intended for the restore |
| | 38 | * You will need to duplicate the structure of the way it was backed up. |
| | 39 | * for example i had to do a bunch of '''zfs destroy <mount i dont need>''' |
| | 40 | * before i could restore the file. |
| | 41 | * also keep in mind you probablyu have to backup all mount points seperately and restore them seperately ? |
| | 42 | * Launch the Installer CD (ZFS Versions must match or be higher, best to use the same Installer for all) |
| | 43 | * Once logged into the LiveCD you WILL need to '''zfspool import zroot''' |
| | 44 | * It will not mount but it loads the drivers needed to access the volume |
| | 45 | * next you will need to make a mount point for your data |
| | 46 | * use /tmp/<mountpoint> as it is already in ram and will allow mounts. |
| | 47 | * i used '''/tmp/tmp''' for example |
| | 48 | * Next depending on where the backup file is located, |
| | 49 | * For nfs |
| | 50 | * Run dhclient <interface> to get connected to a network |
| | 51 | * then mount_nfs - o soft ipaddress:/<mountpoint> |
