How To Recover a save.dat File from a Session Module?
Posted: 24 Jul 2016, 00:14
Hi you all,
After the unfortunate crash I suffered from last month, I have become quite paranoid with my new install.
I have set up the system to boot with changes save on exit to a save.dat.xzm file. This worked great until it started to know error messages on boot like "cp: cannot stat yaddi yadda...". Sadly, the boot screen changes too fast for me to snap it or something.
Nonetheless, the state of the system I inherit from this is useless. I think it has to do with the download and installation of the heroku toolbelt.
Fortunately [because I am now paranoid], I have saved sessions as modules to serve as recovery points after every important steps of my configuration/package-installation process.
So I have a session module 'changes-160723.xzm'. Loading great. Now I want it to be some sort of recovery point and want my save.dat.xzm to pick up from that module.
Renaming that session module to save.dat.xzm doesn't seem to work BTW.
Looking forward to your always-enlightening inputs. Thanks.
