Has anyone used LVM/EVMS snapshots to get a stable image to backup?
If so, how do you do it?
There's a generic example on how you can do this with linux LVM on the wiki.
http://paramount.ind.wpi.edu/wiki/doku.php?id=application_specific_backups#linux_lvm_snapshots
One minor disadvantage, is that bacula will store the paths of the snapshot
mount point (ie, '/snapshot/data/' rather than '/data/').
Indeed a problem, but IIRC there was a suggestion during the last
"feature vote"... well, I recalled incorrectly, it seems.
Anyway, suggesting an enhancement to the "Where" option during restore
to strip leading path elements before applying the actual restore
location seems useful.
A first idea:
Where = "{1}/" would remove the first path element, so '/.snapshot/var'
would become '/var' again.
Escaping the special chars should be possible, even though I don't
expect to see many paths starting with {...
