You will next have to enter the nfs pathname to the backup image.
The format is backuphostip:/path/systemname.DmmddyyThhmmss.full
Where:>backuphostip is the ip address of the system where the backup file is located.
path is the pathname to the directory on the backuphost where backup file is located.
systemname is the host name of the system that back up was created from.
There should be two files on the backuphost: systemname.DmmddyyThhmmss.full and systemname.DmmddyyThhmmss.diskinfo.
Enter the nfs pathname to the backup image now.
|
Enter the NFS pathname to the backup file.
 CAUTION:
You must use the IP address of the system where the backup is located (backuphostip). If you use a host name instead, the restore operation may fail depending on your network configuration.
The system extracts the data from the backup file, install the data, then reboots. This process takes several minutes.

On this screen you can create a root password.
A root password can contain any number of characters, but only the first eight characters in the password are significant. (For example, if you create `a1b2c3d4e5f6' as your rootpassword, you can use `a1b2c3d4' to gain root access.)
You will be prompted to type the root password twice; for security, the password will not be displayed on the screen as you type it.
> If you do not want a root password, press RETURN twice.
