An LVM snapshot is an exact copy of an LVM partition that has all the data from the LVM volume from the time the snapshot was created. The big advantage of LVM snapshots is that you don't have to worry about open files and database connections, and you don't have to interrupt/halt services on the live partition because a snapshot is usually created in fractions of a second, so your users won't notice any disruption, and your snapshot holds consistent data. falko Sun, 15 Apr 2007 21:11:26 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-backups-with-fwbackups-on-fedora-8 This document describes how to set up, configure and use Fwbackups on a Fedora 8 desktop.
