I went and had a harder poke at everything and finally found where it is done - the line it was done from I just thought was some informational text - turned out to be modifiable - Thank you for prodding me to look again :-) > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > Jim Cheetham > It all sounds much more complex, there's lots of jargon to get used > to, and on a small machine with only a couple of disks that never > change, it's probably too much overhead to be useful. I'm using LVM's for there ability to take almost instant 'snapshots' of volumes to then utilize in full backups of the system including live databases (after appropriate freezing/blocking of database and flush of buffers etc to disk ready for snapshot).
