Hello Jamie,<br />
<br />
I found the next bug/feature request.<br />
<br />
dump backups ony the inodes of one filesystem. But for backups it would be more sensible to backup all ext2/ext3 filesystems of the given path.<br />
For example:<br />
- you create a task to backup /<br />
- under /mnt/ you have 2 additional filesystems mounted<br />
=3D&gt; webmin/dump will only backup the filesystem under with the / is mounted, the other two under /mnt get ommited and without any warning...<br />
<br />
Would it be easily possible to extend the webmin backup to backup also the mounted filesystems under the given path?<br />
<br />
regards
</blockquote>Hi Hans,<br />That would be tricky, as a single dump command can only backup one filesystem. There is no way that I can think of to have several dumps written to the same destination file, apart from appending them one after another .. which would make restores impossible.<br /><br />Personally, I would recommand tar format backups if you want to span multiple filesystems.<br /><br />=A0- Jamie<br /><br />
