If you would prefer to backup to a different file system then as long as it is capable of preserving the meta-data you require it should be fine. My recommendation is setup a test backup and then restore the your data. If you have the required meta-data this is a good first step. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This email is protected by LBackup, an open source backup solution. http://www.lbackup.org _______________________________________________ http://www.lbackup.org lbackup-discussion mailing list lbackup-discussion@lists.connect.homeunix.com http://lists.connect.homeunix.com/listinfo/lbackup-discussion
