It's got problems in that it can't handle files larger than 2Gb and the scheduler dies randomly (so I use crontab to trigger backups) but it does work and the restores seem fine. There has been several threads on here about the Linux client. So far no-one has come up with an acceptable solution. The problem is that the linux emulation layer hides the standard filesystem mountpoints / /usr and /var from linux applications. The mount_null filesystem could provide an acceptable solution but there are warnings in the man page. Does anyone know if this filesystem type is usable? Is anyone using it on 3.x or 4.x? Carl.
