| | As a practical matter, production Data Centers tend to keep a separate |
|---|
| | restore image around *for each different system variant*. So, for |
|---|
| | example, you might have a separate image for your IBM servers, your |
|---|
| | Dell servers, your Toshiba laptops, and so on. |
|---|
| | example, you might find a separate image for IBM web servers, IBM |
|---|
| | applications servers, Dell database servers, Toshiba laptops, and so |
|---|
| | on. |

| | |
|---|
| | Imaging may- or may not make sense when initially installing a new |
|---|
| | configuration. Say you have a system that is a web server, but you |
|---|
| | now want to build a separate machine that is a database server. |

| | # devices. CD/DVDs are often found at /dev/hdc. USB |
|---|
| | # drives show up as SCSI drives such as /dev/sda1, and |

|---|
| | # backup medium (see: man mount for the details): |

| | The trick here is know *which* drivers you'll need. That's going |
|---|
| | to take some digging on your part. Generally, you'll find |
|---|
| | the compiled driver modules under:: |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | ./modules/<kernel-name>/kernel/ |
|---|
| | /lib/modules/<kernel-name>/kernel |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | But, it's going to be up to you to figure out which of these your |
|---|
| | particular hardware actually needs. |
