Here’s what we did today on one of our Solaris box that is worth mentioning on this cool super system administrator’s blog ‘o mine! (Don’t you find it cool that SysAds are so funny?!)<\/p>\n
Anyhoo, today we re-jumpstarted a laboratory box because the ‘owner’ of it wants it back. Since we pretty much messed it up, I have to jumpstarted a fresh copy.<\/p>\n
After installing returned the original \/etc\/shadow and \/etc\/passwd back from backup (had a backup file on the laptop).. but unfortunately, the \/etc\/shadow file is ‘null’.<\/p>\n
Restoring File From UFSdump Backup<\/strong><\/p>\n Here’s the procedure in restoring a particular file from ufs dump backup… Of course if you’re restoring from ufs backup you probably made a ufs backup in the first place, right? Right!<\/p>\n In this example, the files backup.examples and junk are restored from the pubs directory:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n # cd \/var\/tmp ufsrestore > cd pubs ufsrestore > add backup.examples There you go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here’s what we did today on one of our Solaris box that is worth mentioning on this cool super system administrator’s blog ‘o mine!
