I'm markus. I've worked with linux for quit a while as administrator also using lvm. Now i try to get some desaster-recovery-strategie working. I've quit a couple of linux-systems. I use vgcfgbackup (lvm1) to bachkup the configuration of volumegroups into a file normal backup-software to backup files.. Wenn system crashes i would like to=20 * start with some (new) rescue-cd, recover vg-configuration file, recreate volumegroups (with recoverd config-file), restore data and reboot This works fine with new systems running lvm2 and some rescue-cd with lvm2. Now there are old lvm1-systems as well. I would like to use the same recover-CD, but it has lvm2-commands and i can't get it to recover old config-files. In short: I would like to get the following things working: vgcfgbackup (lvm1-binary, 2.4 kernel) backing up lvm1-Volume and creating metadata-file (in lvm1 format) vgcfgrestore (lvm2-binary, 2.6 kernel) restoring lvm1-Volume from above. working with restored vg with lvm1, 2.4 kernel. Does this work? Can someone give me example commands? Please excuse my poor english,=20 thanks in advance for your help Markus --=20 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat http://www.gmx.net/de/go/topmail +++ GMX - die erste Adresse f=EF=BF=BDr Mail, Message, More +++
