Re: [PLUG] Ext4

["Keith C. Perry" <kperry@daotechnologies.com>]

I do fulls as much as possible especially on my server OS partition.  One of the nice things about xfs is that its just as easy to fulls as it is to do incrementals if one so desires.  You can even restart an interrupted process.

Data volumes I do various combinations of encrypted storage with LVM, DRBD and nilfs2 or xfs.

Yeah, I do incremental backups on all my Linux servers (and
even on my Mac clients via an rsync one-liner.  Keeps a full
backup, but also daily (or more often) incrementals. Very
fast efficient and easy.  See:
- http://bristle.com/Tips/Unix.htm#rsync_full_and_incremental_backup
and the tips that precede it on that same page.
