This sounds as nothing more than a mirror with one disk beeing a remote file. And this is not really a new idea - remote mirror has a long standing tradition. You can already configure these things with GEOM right now. But this is in no way a backup, this just saves you from disk failures which is the purpose of a mirror. What is missing is history in the remote image so that one can access older contents. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de http://www.fizon.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
