Recording Configuration Data: The SysAudit Utility
The SysAudit utility, originally
written by Robert Err and updated by David Young, discovers and
records system configuration information such as:
Disk partitioning information
Volume manager
configuration
Filesystem
configuration
It records this information in a file that can later be cross-checked
against the current configuration. If SysAudit detects a change in
the configuration, it can notify you. SysAudit is
available at http://www.backupcentral.com.
Tip
Although the SysAudit utility isn’t quite as
sophisticated as the SysInfo utility described
next, it does provide information that SysInfo
does not. Specifically, it shows you how your disks are partitioned,
which is something that will come in quite handy if you lose your
entire system.
