We actually came up with another solution, for those of you who
care...we are going to rewrite part of the mail handler so that it
writes to multiple file systems on multiple servers and to a log
indicating if it failed on any of them. When one comes up, a client
will check the log to see what it

I have the case where a new file is created about every second or two,
nothing gets changed, but files get deleted occasionally (it's a mail
server). I thought of using tar, but it would be just as slow as dump
I would think. I've thought of breaking it up into chunks, but that
still doesn't solv

Just a minor correction: Subversion is *not* a derivative of CVS. It
does not share code with CVS, it is not based on the same cod

Hi all...I'm having a conceptual problem I can't get around and
was hoping someone can change my focus here. I've been backing up
roughly 6-8 million small files (roughly 2-4k each) using dump, but
restores take forever due to the huge number of files and directories.
Luckily, I haven't had

I just installed FreeBSD 5.1 on an i386 system several days ago, and am
now in the process of setting up a backup/restore strategy.
For backups I am using dump piped thru ssh to my linux box (RH 8.0), and
