Cool. That sounds like what I want/need, then. I've been browsing the
EVMS site, and looking thru the documents. I must say the Comparison
chart is impressive, if everything works as advertised.
I guess the last remaining hangup/gotcha for me is mondo. I use mondo to
back up the critical system files on my small server to CDRW, so I can pop
them in and do a more or less bare-metal recover if needed. I know mondo
works w/ RedHat 7.3, and w/ LVM. I've been looking at the mondo site, and
see no mention of EVMS anywhere. And it sounds like it is kind of iffy
under Debian 3.0 at the moment. Not a good sign.
Anyone out there running mondo on Debian 3.0, w/ or w/o EVMS (preferably
w/)?
TIA,
nuk
