Hi all, I'm very new to REAR and used it today for the first time in an attempt to restore the OS for a physical Redhat7 server. The recovery seemed to go ok and I replied to the various interactions telling it to continue. After some time I was able to reboot and set the root password for first login to the restored system. However none of the network settings were restored. Does REAR not support this? There were physical interfaces that were bonded together and IP addresses set. None of that is there. I can see the devices but they are not configured. |

After commenting these and rebooting, everything loads including the network config. I'm relaxing a bit more now thank you :) |

that is saved in /var/lib/rear/layout/disklayout.conf
when "rear mkrescue/mkbackup" runs on the original system.
The system configuration is implicitly restored by
restoring the configuration files from the backup.
When there is some setting on the original system
