rsync won't work if you've got snapshot volumes though (unless you're prepared to have a backup copy thousands of times the size of the original or have a framework in place to replicate the snapshots on the backup copy as soon as they are created (but before they're being written to)). To backup a btrfs FS with snapshots, the only option seems to be to copy the block devices for now (or the other trick mentionned earlier). -- Stephane -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
