X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 11 May 2003 00:24:11 -0000 The new filesystem snapshot functionality in FreeBSD 5.0 seems very interesting to make it possible to consistently back up filesystems. However, I have found very little information about this when googling for this information. The best I could come up with: dumping an active filesystem is best done with "dump -L", where -L activates snapshotting. However, I have found no information about any utility similar to Solaris' fssnap on FreeBSD. Any pointers? -- Per von Zweigbergk
