h2. Symptom
{kb-symptom}

I back up a Fedora box. Then choose to do a full system restore to original location and to overwrite files. Once the restore gets to the network related files such as "*/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo*" the network gets dropped and the restore fails.

h2. Cause
{kb-cause}

The OS is reloading the network configuration files when it sees them change. This is not a bug. This happens because the */etc/sysconfig/network* files are changed and the network configuration gets repopped. And it causes the network to drop.

h2. Solution
{kb-resolution}

Use Bare-Metal Restore.
