Thanks for ext3/ext4 info. Hmmm.. Looks like btrfs is the way for future. I am a little cautious late adapter may be ! Also, I have slightly old fashioned view about snapshots. A lot of content to be backed up consists of files that do not undergo change. For those that do I'd rather opt for a revision control and backup my revision control repository. Whether above view is good for one would also depend on the scale on which you are backing up things - whether it's a small personal computer setup or an industrial scale server. Will be nice to know more views on this. Mayuresh. _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
