So as you are speaking for those thing called "snashot" i will beg you to share some experience about it. How do you find it works, have you made rebuild of the system from a snanshot... and so.. Thanks --------------------------------------------------- No rebuild yet, but have mounted to see how easy it is to retrieve files. Since I run run rebootable clones of my main HD to a 2nd HD every 2-3 days anyway, this daily snapshot just gives me more frequent backups. Mounting and using the clones is a similar approach. Of course my clones includes every filesystem as well as those snapshots. The FFS is really fast too. I like it and restoring is next on my list once I fully understand the nuances. ----------------------------- Не правете това в дома или офиса! виж http://www.gsmreview.com/kip.html _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
