"true" Backup / Restore?
« on: November 03, 2005, 03:52:32 pm »
Does anyone know of a true backup / restore solution for the Z?

Today, if I do a backup, I install zzz somewhere, and I do a restore, zzz will most likely still be there.

I am looking for a solution, where a restore would bring fully back the status as it was before. So everything I have installed BEFORE the backup should be there, but NOTHING should remain from what I have changed / installed after the backup.

Any ideas for a solution?

Hi baby...
Sorry for my english... is very bad....

The cacko rom have a good system for backup... but if it don't work for you... can use tar program and a hdd external or ssh tunnel for this
"tar" can do any thing that you think  includes backup incrementals

Thank you. My question was more on the restore side... How can I make a restore so that anything which was installed / changed after I did the backup disappears? If I use tar to compress / decompress, that still wont remove stuff I installed after the backup...

Or am I mistaken?
