Title: Disaster Recovery with AutoYaST together with a ReaR NETFS backup

Description:
rear-SUSE provides a script which does the following:

- Run 'rear mkbackuponly' to store a backup.tar.gz on a NFS server.

- Run AutoYaST clone_system.ycp to make an autoinst.xml file.

- Make a bootable system recovery ISO image which is based on an
install medium, for example a Suse Linux Enterprise install DVD
plus autoinst.xml so that AutoYaST can recover this particular
system. In particular a so called 'chroot script' is added to
autoinst.xml which is run by AutoYaST to restore the backup from
the NFS server.

A recovery medium which is made from the ISO image would run AutoYaST
with autoinst.xml to recreate the basic system, in particular the
partitioning and mount points. Then AutoYaST runs the 'chroot script'
to fill in the backup data into the recreated basic system when the
mount points of the recreated system are still below '/mnt' and when
the bootloader is not yet installed. After the backup was restored,
AutoYaST does a chroot into '/mnt' so that it is now in the recreated
system and installs the bootloader. Then the recreated system boots for
its very first time and AutoYaST does the system configuration, in
particular the network configuration. Finally the configured system
moves forward to its final runlevel so that all system services should
then be up and running again.

Currently rear-SUSE is a preliminary version under development. This
means there are both missing features and bugs and it must be tested in
various different environments.

Some current restrictions and shortcomings:

Only a ReaR BACKUP_URI of the form 'nfs://host/path/file.tar.gz' is
supported and the backup file must be a tar.gz file so that 'tar -xzf
file.tar.gz' works.
