Hi, We do offline copies to external drives using a combination of SW RAIDx's. Some of the raids have write-intent bitmaps activated to speed-up the synchronization process. The resultant drives can be converted to a fully-functioning copy of the original backuppc machine using liveCD in a matter of minutes. We currently use 2 sets of offline drives for weekly offline backup of 600GB backuppc data (tens of millions hardlinks) on a 1,4TB partition, the synchronization of weekly changes takes a few hours. The only backuppc downtime is after the synchronization is finished - stopping backuppc, unmounting the data filesystem, removing the offline drives from the array, re-mounting the data filesystem and starting backuppc - a period of several seconds. It is no rocket science :) Pavel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oracle to DB2 Conversion Guide: Learn learn about native support for PL/SQL, new data types, scalar functions, improved concurrency, built-in packages, OCI, SQL*Plus, data movement tools, best practices and more. http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ 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/
