Hi,

Welcome to LQ!

And I'm afraid that if that line above is *all* you did
you haven't backed anything up at all. Can you please be
more specific on the steps you took?


Cheers,

Hello

Thanks you for this response

I make the backup my data to usb disk and use command
After make new install centos 5.3 for my computer I don't known how to use command to put my data back

Could you please help me?

If you actually have backed up your data to the USB disk, then you simply need to mount it and copy the files to wherever you want them, e.g.

First mount the device on /mnt/tmp. Obviously this assumes that the device you want to mount is /dev/sdb5. You'll have to make sure, though..

Now copy all the files (and directories, recursively) in /mnt/tmp (i.e. those that are on #the USB disk) to your home # directory. Obviously, this assumes that your home directory is /home/stuff, so modify as appropriate.

Read the man pages for mount and cp if you need more information about those commands. Please note that these are only examples and you should read the aforementioned man pages, or ask for more information if you need it (so that you understand what the commands do and don't make a mess of anything).

HTH.
