Good afternoon.

Wich is the best way to make a backup of a system running lvm and selinux ?

It seems that with lvm systems, the best way is to take a snapshot (wich seems a waste

of space in a Volume Group). But with Selinux ? tar-1.15 doesn't apply the right

permissions when extracting (at least of what I tested).

I've bee using "dump" for a while, and I tested it right now and it preserves the "extended attributes" so it seems to be the right option for me since the scripts I'm using, use "dump"

Is it possible/preferable to use tar or star ?

Thanks.

Regards

David
