| Subject: | [gentoo-user] Anyone using fsarchiver to backup their Linux filesystems? |

| 3 | I am using it to backup my Linux ext4 filesystems and Logical Volume |
| 4 | Manager 2 (LVM2) logical volumes. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Here is a very simple Linux shell script which I wrote to backup my |
| 7 | /boot filesystem as well as the host operating system's volume group. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | <CODE> |
| 10 | #!/bin/sh |
| 11 | |
| 12 | DESTDIR=/media/usbharddisk |
| 13 | FILENAME=22sep2010-wed.fsa |
| 14 | BOOT=/dev/sda1 |
| 15 | OPTIONS="-A -j 2" |
| 16 | |
| 17 | fsarchiver savefs $DESTDIR/$FILENAME $BOOT /dev/vg_fedora11_host/lv_home |
| 18 | /dev/vg_fedora11_host/lv_root /dev/vg_fedora11_host/lv_var \ |
| 19 | $OPTIONS |
| 20 | </CODE> |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Specifying the option "-A" allows me to do a live backup of the |
| 23 | filesystems while they are mounted read-write. The option "-j2" allows |
| 24 | me to use 2 compression threads (I am using Intel Pentium Dual Core |
| 25 | E6300 processor @ 2800 MHz). |
