Re: [foxboro] BackUp


Thanks. Yeah the idea was to reduce the time AW remains in single user.

And as i said, i was just wondering. And now after listening to Warren &
you I have stopped wondering also.

A lot. Simply don't do it.

If you want to reduce downtime while doing=20
dd backups or dumps use a second harddisk=20
for this, boot in single user mode, dump the live=20
harddisk to the second harddisk (which usually=20
only takes around 20 minutes for not tooo big=20
harddisks on standard style C or E 51 machines),=20
reboot in multi user mode again and then=20
backup this second harddisk to whatever=20
(slow) medium you want.
