Re: [zfs-discuss] Backing up ZVOLs
You can use VCB to backup. In my test lab, I use VCB integrated with Bacula to backup all the VMs. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
[zfs-discuss] Backing up ZVOLs
Hello all, Are there any best practices / recommendations for ways of doing this ? In this case the ZVOLs would be iSCSI LUNS containing ESX VMs .I am aware of the of the need for the VMs to be quiesced for the backups to be useful. Cheers. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
Re: [zfs-discuss] Backing up ZVOLs
Thanks for the help. I was curious whether the zfs send|receive was considered suitable given a few things I've read which said somethings along the lines of don't count on being able to restore this stuff. Ideally that is what I would use with the 'incremental' option so as to only backup changed blocks on subsequent backups. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
