Restore /etc

Restore /etc

Mistake always happened, but Make sure don't make it happened again and again..!

In this Tips, We are going to solve the problem is you confuse to delete folder or everything in "etc" which is the main folder to store the configurations in Linux systems.

but this could help if you have the update to date of a "etc" backup. 

Move everything from the "etc from backup" to the "/etc "

extract the "etc from backup" and use command rsync

rsync -arl /restore/path/etc/  /etc/

Options: 

-a, --archive               archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X)

-r,  --recursive             recurse into directories

-l,  --links                    copy symlinks as symlinks

We use these options to support the symlink,and recursive directory in /etc

and then issue other command to reload the configurations of init.

sudo initctl reload-configuration

and waiting for a good change to reboot your server.

If  there is crash or error, You are fixed.,,,, :D

Cheers,
