Good points and I do appreciate the effort that is put into AMANDA and its backwards compatibility. I guess testing the client is easy, and something I will try to do over the next few weeks and report the results, but changing the server side.. well that scares me :) :) -- AlanP On Tue, August

Hi Dustin You have to appreciate a lot of people have AMANDA in production environments and it is working. We are very reluctant to change it in case it breaks, we don't want the overhead of having to fix it. Example we are deploying a 2.5.2 snapshot that has fixes in it that we raised. Speaking

Our shop is running with zfs-snapshots. We don't/haven't attempted ufs-snapshots. Snapshots are great - but not the solution to all problems, files that are open when the snapshots are created are 'open' when you back them up (not everyone here seems to understand this). On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at
