Perhaps this might get you further. Hi, hate to ask, but: What is a DDB kernel, and how do I create it? Anyway, feel free to ask me about how I created my crash recovery system. It works 100% now, except for the questions I posted. But that's just fine tuning. I can now create a backup using tar off a running system, and can restore it complete with 3 disks and the backup-tar somewhere on the local network. Well, hope to hear from you. Regards, Ulf Schmidt
