New question #186746 on Duplicity: https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/186746
First of all, thank you for creating such a great backup tool! Before Duplicity and Deja Dup were available it Ubuntu, I used to have a crude, manual backup procedure that I followed once in a while--now I have daily, automatic, encrypted off site backups thanks to you :-) I am curious about how Duplicity handles open files. Does Duplicity use some kind of mechanism to obtain a snapshot of open files so that an in-use virtual disk image or database file, for example, will be backed up in a consistent state? Or does it just to a read-through that may result in a corrupted copy of the file in the backup if the file changes while it is being backed up? Thanks. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of duplicity-team, which is an answer contact for Duplicity. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
