I've been playing with the LVM snapshot feature under Centos 4.4 and it looks great! I've read about creating a "Volume shadow Copy" feature on Linux that is similar to the Win2k3 Shadow Copy feature. I have several clients who like this feature and see it as a reason to keep the MS product. I'd like to offer them a true alternative.
I've searched high and low on Google and the best I can find are incomplete instructions on how to create the "Shadow Copy" feature on samba. Samba.org has VLM instructions but incomplete instructions for any kind of Shadow Copy functionality.
I have the snapshop feature working great. However, I'm looking for exactly how to setup everything so that I can rotate the snapshots like MS does with VSC so users can restore files and folders using Windows XP.
Is anyone doing this already? I would love to know more.
Thanks. Scott
