restore backups

    I just got an OS reload done and I have to restore from the secondary backup drive. I need to remount the second drive first. What is the proper way to do this?

    Is this right?

    fdisk /dev/sdb
    mkfs.ext3 -L /backup /dev/sdb1
    nano /etc/fstab
    LABEL=/backup /backup ext3 defaults 1 2
    mkdir /backup
    reboot

    I want to make sure I do not end up deleting the data off the secondary drive or mess with the partition.

    Please let me know.

    cross posted the same thing on ev1

    do NOT use fdisk!! Just mount the drive with the following, later if you want you can add it to fstab but is it not required to restore them.


    mkdir /backup
    mount /dev/sdb1 /backup

    put them in /backup/cpbackup/daily and then when you go to restore backups in WHM there will be a daily box you can click.
