What are people with zfs filesystems doing to back them up over Legato?
Backup server runs Legato Networker 7.2.2, my new server runs Solaris 10
release 2 (06/06).
I do not control or have root access to the backup server or its
documentation.
I understand that this version of Networker does not support zfs, but I'm
thinking there must be a way to back up just the data from the volume (don't
need ACL's or snapshots or other zfs metadata, for starters)
Things I've tried:
a) just plain backup
result: volume was invisible to legato server
b) mounting volume with legacy option, which uses vfstab
zfs set mountpoint=legacy mailstore/imap
mount -f zfs mailstore/imap /var/spool/imap
resulting legato report (there are approximately 1263299 files on the
volume):
<host>:/var/spool/imap savegrp: suppressed 1263299 lines of output -
check daemon.log for details.
<host>:/var/spool/imap save: Unable to read ACL information for
<filename>:: Bad file number
c) nfs-mounting volume onto another server . result: volume not seen
d) nfs-mounting volume locally from localhost:same problem plus some nfsv4
timeouts.
(still going back and forth with the Legato operator on how to specify an
NFS volume as part of an ALL backup. I suspect the only way is to specify
*every* volume explicitly, is this correct??)
e) nfs-mounting volume locally and explicitly running backup just on that
volume:
<host>:/imapspool 1 retry attempted
<host>:/imapspool aborted due to inactivity
I'm about to set up a remote partition and start rsync'ing the data just to
get SOME backup, but I'd really like to figure out a way to do this. I've
googled and found some references but nothing definite.
Is anyone doing this successfully ?!? Thanks for any clues.
thanks Betsy
PS I promise to post a summary no later than 1 week
