I am currently in the process of doing this in two steps: 1. Moving the cpool to a partition with LVM, so as to be able to make snapshot binary backups in future. 2. Copying the snapshot over the network to a backup server. I'll blog it soon and post here. In short, the fastest way to duplicate your pool is: dd if=/dev/partition1 of=/dev/partition2 Regards, Tyler -- "I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." -- Clarence Darrow ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
