how to backup and restore /var partition.
I want to reinstall Debian on a machine which is also running my local
web server. I am planning on backing up /home, /var and /etc.
When I want to restore these on the newly installed system, how exactly
do I do the restore with /var? Do I just copy the earlier /var to the
new one? During and right after installation, I am sure /var/log/syslog
is being build up. What is the recommended way to restore /var in this
situation?
Regarding apache, I suppose I just copy the /var/log/apache to the new
system before starting apache?
Any further tips are much appreciated.
Regards.
