Hi Simon,

thanks a lot for your recommendation. Any estimates on the costs of
Teradactyl's software?

Would it be an alternative to just use the entire contents of either
the underlying ext3 filesystem and backup that via Bacula or create
snapshots of the LVs on which the /vicep* partitions reside?

(Though I admit that this approach would make it probably impossible
to restore individual files).

Thanks for any info!

Kind regards,

     Holger
