HI,
This is only tangentially related to the forum topic, but no others
seem to be discussing flar, so here goes:
I want to use flar to do both speedy DR and regular backup for some
T2000 machines. I made a flar of the machine in its initial deployment state
and wanted to just do diff flars from then on, which would be small and easy to
store many on a tape. When I tried to do the diff flar, it was unable to read
the original flar (using the -A argument to flarcreate). Turns out I have to
have the image unbundled in its own directory for flarcreate to use it to
compare. This effectively kills my simple plan. Any chance of getting
flarcreate to be able to read .flar files instead of full directory
heirarchies? Any simple workaround that you know of? I have no spare machines
or disks to devote to the cloning and lu methods mentioned in the docs, and
that's a big waste of space and time anyway..
thx
jake
