Are my settings lost if I restore the eeprom defaults or replace the eeprom?
No. Sneep maintains a backup file /etc/default/SUNWsneep in which it keeps a copy of all settings. In case OBP defaults have been restored or if the eeprom has been relaced without preserving the contents, sneep automatically restores the sneep eeprom settings from the backup file when the system is rebooted. Alternatively, the data can be recovered simply by asking for it with sneep, and then setting the returned value again with sneep. Sneep has options designed to make it easy to recover data with very little effort, and under most circumstances it will be able to automatically recover the data at the next system boot. When this is done at system startup, sneep will log a message to tell you if the eeprom is not consistent with the backup and whether or not it was recovered. See the manual page for the usage of -T, -d, and -P. The User Guide contains a detailed example of data recovery procedures and options.
