Hi,
I like to backup an xfs file system while there are i/o on it.
Please reply to every point bellow.
What is the best practice?
- xfsdump(or better use any other -rsync,tar,so on)
-what is better rsync,tar or xfsdump?
-or xfs_freeze then take snapshot on lvm level -lvcreate -s like in https://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/snapshots_backup.html?
-how about incremental backup?
xfsdump -l 9
can i use rsync just to copy the difference what was updated as incremental backup?
or tar https://www.theurbanpenguin.com/incr...kups-with-tar/
