[tde-users] Re: kmail vs amanda problem

Gene Heskett via tde-users wrote: Hi Gene, don't know about Amanda and dbus, but the best way to do a backup (nowdays) is to make a snapshot of the LVM and do the backup from the snapshot. You have to have some spare space - for the snapshot to work. I am planning myself to start doing this at home next year - but I need to do the calculations first and probably add/replace some disks. I am excited of how this works in production (the backup solution I worked with is proprietary one). It does backup VMs and DBs while they are operating and total disk space backuped is in TBs. Keep in mind: (as we usually say) it is not only the making of the backup, but the ability to restore. BTW kmail does not know dbus (AFAIK) regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
