    Hi Rick,

    This may actually work..

    Just one issue unless I am missing something..

    In the restore you used a "k" option to keep existing files and not
    overwrite them.. Does this mean that for example all the existing files
    in /etc would not be restored? which would mean all user accounts and
    custom settings would not be available on the new drive.. Also all logs
    /var/log/* would not be restored either..

    I guess they would have to be restored manually.. :(

    Later..
