1. NDR stands for Non-Destructive-Restore.
2. In the event you install a fresh OS on a new hard drive, and want
to restore the data from a previous systems LONE-TAR Backup,
a Non-Destructive-Restore will PREVENT any of the files that exist
on the NEW hard drive from being clobbered by files that exist on
the LONE-TAR backup media.
3. However, there are certain files that you DO want to over-write
from the LONE-TAR backup media to the new hard drive (assuming same OS).
4. Prior to any crash and while your system is up and running,
postNDR will create a tarball with these desired files and directories.
5. After a Non-Destructive-Restore, simply restore this tarball and all
printers, startup scripts, and root profiles will be put back in place.
6. It is recommended that you execute this script from within your roots
crontab file 20 minutes PRIOR to your LONE-TAR nightly backup. EXAMPLE:
10 2 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /usr/lone-tar/postNDR -backup
30 2 * * 1,2,3,4,5 exec /usr/lone-tar/ltar.M.cron 1

7. The file name that contains the inclusion list of files to archive is:
${NDR_lst}
8. The '-create' flag will create a generic inclusion list. If this
inclusion file list does not exist, it will be automatically created.
9. The list of files and directories in this file MUST be viewed and
and confirmed by your systems administrator. Add or delete files or
directories to this list to serve your needs using the '-edit' flag.
**CAUTION** Symbolic links MUST have the real file in the list as well.
10. Do NOT use wild-cards in your inclusion list.
11. If a file name exists in your inclusion list, and does not exist on
the system, it will simply be ignored.
12. Please report to 'support@cactus.com' any files that should be ADDED
to this generic script that may have been over looked.
