You wouldn't, unlress you needed to recover older versions of files. The |
| 8 |
current versions can be restored with cp, which I'm fairly sure the |
| 9 |
LiveCD includes. |

There's a thread on the forums on bulding a LiveCd that I found very |
| 12 |
useful. I use this to build the system I need and use squashfs to |
| 13 |
archive the backups. then I write the whole lot to a DVD (make sure you |
| 14 |
have the squashfs stuff enabled in the Live kernel). then I can boot from |
| 15 |
the DVD, mount a backup of a filesystem and copy the stuff back. |
