-> a internal image for e.g. on the harddisk
-> choose this image and boot = active image
-> second image is for a fast switch between running configuration and backup
-> a similar idea like the backup rom on mainboards
-> it could / would be something like a appliance with two virtual images and one is offline and if you need it - shutdown the actual and start the other one

-> it could be also something like a automatic newinstallation -> scripted ( automatic download of the newest image and start of installation) and you only enter the settings like ip that it has after the new installation

I think this saves a lot time for this new installation and makes it easier for remote troubleshooting.
I had often the problem that something whereever goes wrong and I need a new installation.
So I need someone onside ...
With this backup image it would be fantastic to solve everything remote.

We have our Astaro 425 configured to fail over to a secondary internet circuit (CenturyLink) when the primary one (Time Warner) fails. Since we have over 25 different external host IP addresses that would need new IP address assignments when failed over to the new circuit we created a CURL script to update all of our DynNet DNS records. Since the CURL utility is already included in the Astaro Linux OS a simple command could be issued as follows: "curl -k -K /home/login/cl_curl_input.txt" to change our DNS records over to our CenturyLink internet public IP addresses after the CenturyLink interface has established itself as the new gateway. A way should be provided in the Astaro configuration to allow for a script like this (and possibly others) to be run just after the new gateway has been established after a failover event.
