The main (internal) drive on the system uses LVM (/, /home, /usr, /swap, /var). I back up parts of /var, /usr, /home and /boot. To ensure that the backups are consistent, I use the LVM snapshot feature, so that instead of backing up, for example, /home, directly, I create a home_backup lv, which remains static, and then back that up. I'm following the basic procedure given in the LVM howto: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/snapshots_backup.html My backup rsnapshot wrapper is this (invoked with one argument, which is passed to rsnapshot): #! /bin/sh /sbin/lvcreate -L 2G -s -n home_backup /dev/lizzie/home /sbin/lvcreate -L 100M -s -n root_backup /dev/lizzie/root /sbin/lvcreate -L 1G -s -n var_backup /dev/lizzie/var /bin/mount /dev/lizzie/home_backup /mnt/home_backup/ /bin/mount /dev/lizzie/root_backup /mnt/root_backup/ /bin/mount /dev/lizzie/var_backup /mnt/var_backup/ nice -n 19 /usr/bin/rsnapshot $1 /bin/umount /mnt/home_backup/ /bin/umount /mnt/root_backup/ /bin/umount /mnt/var_backup/ /sbin/lvremove -f lizzie/home_backup /sbin/lvremove -f lizzie/root_backup /sbin/lvremove -f lizzie/var_backup I'll be glad to provide any other information that you need.
