Hi All, In the December 2003, Sys Admin magazine (www.sysadminmag.com), there was an article (pg 17), about doing Oracle DB Backups using UFS Snapshots. This was implemented using a facility built into Solaris. I have read about other snapshot products for MS Windows NTFS etc. Is there a way to do snapshot backups using FreeBSD's UFS? Hmm, after writing the above, I thought I should at least google for 'freebsd snapshot backup'. Well, low and behold, there it is in 5.0+ Cool! OK, I will remod my question, is there any talk of having the snapshot feature being retro fitted to 4.x stable? (or is there some other util/port out there that does this?) Cheers, Paul PS. FreeBSD never ceases to amaze me ;-)
