As promised, how to use LVM to clone a BackupPC pool. http://www.tolaris.com/2010/04/23/using-lvm-to-make-a-live-copy-of-a-backuppc- pool/ Regards, Tyler -- "Before we got into this war there were countless 'military experts' and intelligence analysts that told us this was a good idea, that we had to do it. That presented their information, and were so terribly wrong. These people are still affecting public policy. They are still considered experts. I'm sorry, shouldn't there be a rule or law that says if you fuck things up so badly, you can no longer be considered an expert?" -- Tim Robbins ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
