Backing up the SBC Installation

From HotDec

Boot the SBC to one of the harddrives available at the lab, then mount the Disk-on-Chip to /mnt. Then tar the mounted partition into /tmp, scp it to elegy.mie.uiuc.edu and untar into /home3/sbc. The necessary commands follow:

Grub prompt:

c (to get a grub commandline)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1
boot

Bash Prompt:

mount /dev/nftla1 /mnt
cd /mnt
tar xzvf /tmp/SBC.<date-here>.tar.gz *
scp /tmp/SBC.<date-here>.tar.gz elegy.mie.uiuc.edu:/home3
ssh elegy.mie.uiuc.edu
cd /home3/sbc
tar xvfz ../SBC.<date-here>.tar.gz
