Hi All
Im am just testing OpenAFS, to see if we can use it as a NAS server,
witch it seems to be perfect for. I run AFS Servers on Linux Enterprise
AS, and access it from Windows 2000/XP. I have a few questions:
1) You want to backup a SAN running Windows, onto a AFS drive, can
someone clearify about the 2GB filesize limit ?
2) The command "vos backup nas.vol1" will make a backup copy of the
"nas.vol1" volume, is it possible to make more than one backup ?
3) Is there a way to rollback from a backup volume, if I mess up the
"nas.vol1" volume can I rollback the "nas.vol1.backup" volume ?
I know I can dump it to a file and then restore, but a pointer
rollback is much quicker.
Cheers
Mikkel
