@kodiss

  1. to use another IP address then the original:

  2. see FAQ http://relax-and-recover.org/documentation/faq topic IP migration

  3. or, you can set it manually once booted via the rescue image
  4. or, you can force dhcp with USE_DHCLIENT=1 in the local.conf file
  5. or, while booting the rescue image interrupt the kernel from booting and append the following commands to kernel: ip=x.x.x.x. gw=x.x.x.y nm=255.255.255.x

  6. or, while booting the rescue image interrupt the kernel from booting and append the following commands to kernel: dhcp

  7. rear recover [file to restore] - rear purpose is to restore the complete base OS, not just one specific file.

  8. recover manual: sorry - we know this is a gab, and we would love to write it, but as working on rear is mostly a unpaid job we cannot afford the time. However, nothing stops you of asking for it via http://www.it3.be/rear-support/index.html
    We will be giving a workshop at http://osbconf.org/workshops/ - nothing stops you for coming
