Of all the file servers I'm running, I'm lucky that they all have considerable dead time during the night (i.e., nobody is working on them at night) so I just schedule the backup to run at 1:00 AM or so. The only server I have that gets used 24/7 is a MySQL db server, so for that I use the mysqldump command, which uses file locking to get a consistent backup of the data. Obviously, your needs may necessitate other measures. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology technical services (412) 793-4257 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
