Post by: npereira on Tuesday 12 October 2010, 11:57:32 pm

It is best practice to make a backup of the efw-configuration and download it on other system, however if you previously made that you can find it in /home/httpd/html/backup
You should access to the disk with a live distribution of fedora or other redhat-like system and copy the backup to a floppy or USB disk then restore it after reinstallation of EFW.
If you do not have the backup you should recover at least the following directories and files
/etc/endian/
/etc/httpd/
/etc/rc.d/
/etc/ssh/
/etc/businfotab
/etc/hosts
/etc/localtime
/etc/shadowroot

/var/efw/
/root/installer.meta.backup

These are files and directories that are backing up with config option only.
