Hi all, just to add some ideas to lvm snapshots. As far as I know ist there no need to dd the hole disk. It should fit if you just make the lvm snap ant mount it to any device you want. So you could pack the hole img and store it via bacula or something else. And you normally dont need to shut down the system. The snapshot tooks a bit longer but should even do it while the system is in use. So just: - take the snap - mount it - pack it Dont hit me if i am not right :-) Greetz Jörg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
