We script a dump of all databases before the rsync runs, so we get both text and binary backups. If restoring the binary files doesn't work, then we just suck in the text dumps. If the remote system supports snapshots, doing a snapshot before the rsync runs is a good idea, though. It'll be nice when more filesystems support in-line snapshots. The LVM method is pure crap. -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
