Re: [Moosefs-users] snapshots

[Alexander A. <akh...@ri...>]

Hi Elliot !

My experience is to use on mfsmaster via cron something like this:

#cat /etc/crontab
# /etc/crontab - root's crontab for FreeBSD
#minute hour    mday    month   wday    who     command
27      04      *       *       *       root    /root/do_dump

#cat /root/do_dump
/usr/local/bin/mfsmakesnapshot -o /moosefs_mnt/ftp /moosefs_mnt/backup/ftp/`date +%A`
/usr/local/bin/mfssetgoal -r 1 /moosefs_mnt/backup/ftp/`date +%A`

Works well :--)

Hello all,

Has anyone used snapshots extensively?  I'm just curios how robust
they are.  I have 50+ VMs running with their virtual disk on MFS.  For
backing up the VM images, I'd like to take a snapshot, copy it to
remote location and then delete snapshot.

Has anyone tried this or similar?  If so, would you mind sharing your
experience?

Thanks,
Elliot
