Good afternoon.
Wich is the best way to make a backup of a = system running=20 lvm and selinux ?
It seems that with lvm systems, the best way is = to take a=20 snapshot (wich seems a waste
of space in a Volume Group). But with Selinux = ? =20 tar-1.15 doesn't apply the right
permissions when extracting (at least of what I = tested).=20
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=20 since the scripts I'm using, use "dump"
Is it possible/preferable to use tar or star ?
 
Thanks.
