Subject: [linux-lvm] Integrating LVM sna[pshots with rsnapshot (rsync based backup tool)
Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 09:35:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <52D93FC2.9080804@libertytrek.org> (raw)
Hi all,
Just wanted to ask here for confirmation of something.
Rsnapshot is a perl utility, and can be configured to create LVM
snapshots for performing backups (ie, for backing up email stores, etc).
man rsnapshot contains the following:
linux_lvm_vgpath /dev
Path to the LVM Volume Groups.
Considering that my LVM volumes specified in fstab are:
# LVM command paths
#
linux_lvm_cmd_lvcreate /sbin/lvcreate
linux_lvm_cmd_lvremove /sbin/lvremove
linux_lvm_snapshotsize 3G
linux_lvm_snapshotname lvm-snap-host1
linux_lvm_vgpath /dev/vg
linux_lvm_mountpath /mnt/lvm-rsnap-host1
linux_lvm_cmd_mount /bin/mount
linux_lvm_cmd_umount /bin/umount
So, my question is, what should I use in my rsnapshot config?
/dev
or
/dev/vg
There is obviously a ton of stuff in /dev that has nothing to do with
LVM, so it seems more logical to me that I would use /dev/vg, but maybe
LVM is smarter than I give it credit for?
