Yes, it's an fs-neutral kind of problem but there are ways to minimize its impact. My production system is an expensive SCSI RAID system but I keep a day-old copy of it on another identically setup box, except that the disks are lowly IDEs strapped together with LVM (2-3 times faster than RAID, it restores a tarball faster than RAID can make it). If something happens to the production server the backup server can take over in minutes. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
