ext3 is actually just ext2 with a journal, so you can in fact mount an ext3 file system as ext2 without any issues (of course the journal wouldn't be used). I agree with you though, it's best to keep systems as close as possible when restoring, or you do run the risk of introducing unexpected issues when you least want/need them. - Si <snip> -- Simon Weller Systems Engineer, LPIC-2 Education Networks of America 1101 McGavock St. Nashville TN 37203 Direct Line: 615.312.6068 Network Operations Center: 1.800.836.4357 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
