Tried doing this years ago. In that instance it caused a 4x performance hit. It was better to just stop BackupPC, take a tarball of the BackupPC data pool, then restart BackupPC. 12 hours of interruption in backups was better than taking all weekend to write (hitchingly) to tape. If you're writing to disk elsewhere, and your hardware differs from what I had back then, the math may be different for you. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
