I've been using rsnapshot for my backups lately, and the target is my 160BG SATA drive set up as a single LVM volume (1 physical, 1 logical).=20 While I may possibly move the backups to my USB drive in the future, I was thinking that LVM may not be a wise choice if I lose my primary drive. Would I be better off to simply use a physical partition formatted to ext4 rather than LVM in the case I lose my 1TB drive. BTW: If I were to experience a total drive failure, I would most likely install the OS onto a new drive and restore, so that the backup would be accessible. My concern would be accessing the backup data from a LiveCD. --=20 Jerry Feldman <gaf-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
