figurations can first be checked and undone if derived.
Check backup procedure
To check if a fully functional system backup is stored on the backup partition enter service eosxs with the
option check into the command line:
service eosxs check
With an operable backup the system will respond:
eosxs check: OK check passed

Date and time when the backup was made, gets returned by means of the info option. Therefore enter the
following expression into the command line.
service eosxs info
Thereupon date and time of the backup is displayed.

but with the security of having an actual system backup for the unlikely but not impossible case of a cor-
rupted file system on the working partition.
