Hey Miles, Do you have any idea if there is a way to backup a zvol in the manner you speak of with bacula? Is DD a secure way to do this or are there better methods to do this? Otherwise I will just use dd. Thanks again! Thanks! Greg -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

In my case where I reboot the server I cannot get the pool to come back up. It shows UNAVAIL, I have tried to export before reboot and reimport it and have not been successful and I dont like this in the case a power issue of some sort happens. My other option was to mount using lofiadm

Hey Ed, Thanks for the comment, I have been thinking along the lines of the same thing, I am going to continue to try to use bacula but we will see. Out of curiosity, what version of netbackup are you using? I would love to feel pretty well covered haha. Thanks a lot! Greg On Wed, Mar 10, 2010
