[NTLUG:Discuss] Restoring backup after repartitioning disk.

[Tom Hayden]

I recently needed to change the partitioning on my hard disk to add more 
swap space so I backed up my linux system to a DVD before partitioning 
it. After changing the partitions, I copied the DVD back to the hard 
disk. Then it would not boot up. After some research, I determined that 
the /etc/mtab and /etc/fstab files and, to a lesser extend, the grub 
files should not be over written after the repartitioning. Are there any 
other files that should not be over written after a repartition?
