In the current "SysAdmin" magazine (April, 2003, Vol. 12, No. 4, Pgs
43-47), there is an article by Julian Briggs on using a Solaris feature
Not being a Linux user Paul, are the LVM, RAID, and filesystem snapshots a standard feature of your system? How have you incorporated them into amanda backups?
RAID, and LVM are standard features of a recent Linux.
With LVM you can make snapshots, similar to "fssnap" on Solaris 8.
I just implemented a first working version, using a gnutar wrapper script, of using snapshot-backups with amanda. I was investigating how to incorporate the feature more solid it into the program. When I make more progress and have a stable version, I will surely send something to the list.
