Mark, What is on your current version of a feature list? I know lots of things have been brought up and considered. What are you considering as reasonable for your first cut? Additional versions?
I would like to see some 'exits' or scripts that are user generated that could quiesce a database before it is backed up, and start it back up afterwards. Possibly one at the 'start' of the backup and another at the end, in case there are particular tasks that users want to do. Like scan /tmp before a backup for files that need to go away, and even be able to shut a system down after a backup is complete, or just about anything that could be scripted. Also, if the scripts aren't there, it is a non-problem, just go on with backups. ... All these are things I have actually used in backup products. Another thing that would be nice is the ability to do a 'on demand user backup' for files or directory structures. I have done this just before I want to run a script that might trash my test data. This way I could get my test data back. Nice for regression testing. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
