Hi Josh
Thank you for your reply, advice and link.
This is a remote server and as I do not need long term storage of
backups it is really for disaster recovery - it is also not located
anywhere near the clients. My hope is that if it does crash I will be
able to rebuild it and take full backups before anything else fails.
I do take on your comment about if one disk fails the whole server
will be lost - would this not be the case with vchanger?
No. Vchanger allows using multiple filesystems as one large emulated
tape autoloader library, so each disk is an independent store of volume
files, much like a magazine full of tapes in a real tape autoloader. It
emulates a mult-magazine tape autoloader using one symlink for each
virtual drive that links to the volume file currently loaded into that
drive. It is an automated way of dynamically creating the symlinks
needed to use N filesystems as one large store, rather than N disks as
one filesystem.
Cheers,
Josh Fisher
