Hello Jeremy, Monday, September 1, 2008, 3:27:38 PM, you wrote: [... links about problems with snapshots ...] the dump can be used without snapshots, in that case is it a still worse method of doing backups? as for the snapshots, you made me even more depressed :) I don't have huge hard disk so I think backup on biggest partition takes a minute (maybe less) which is not so bad. I loved snapshots because the backup that I got was always consistent (I had an opportunity to test it three times already). I only had to remember to lock the database and flush all writes during the snapshot, which was possible to be completely done through a simple script. -- Best regards, Derek mailto:takeda@takeda.tk -- Hidden DOS secret: add BUGS=OFF to your CONFIG.SYS
