I have a few public IPs available, and would like to create= jails to house the websites. I tested this by creating a jail, putting it= on one of the extra IP addresses, and running apache from within the= jail... works fine. Right now, to backup a website (currently on the host server) I copy the= important things to a temp directory, including (and most importantly) the= htdocs directory, create an iso, then burn to a CDRW. But what about when the site is within a jail? I notice I can get to= /path/to/jail/path/to/htdocs, so can I similarly just copy the appropriate= files/directories for backup purposes? Or is there something magical about= being "inside" the jail that makes this difficult or improper? Thanks, Chris
