Thanx for the reply ;) I read somewhere that NFS is much slower than having an iscsi device. Somewherelse they said the contrary.... What if I have a virtual openindiana server? should I zfs over an exported zfs device? Nooo...I don't think so....so NFS. Is it good for cyrus/postfix and so on? Then...what about a postgres db on NFS? and MySQL? About windows.......should I boot on the iscsi disk? I don't think so... What about SQLServer (...yes...people us it...) data files?...no way, just iscsi or local disks.... It's a complete mess....backup is a mess here... But I love ZFS :) that's why I brainstorm at 22:00 here :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Da: Dan Swartzendruber A: Discussion list for OpenIndiana Data: 10 giugno 2011 21.37.39 CEST Oggetto: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Backups and snapshots A lot of questions :) What I am doing for various servers: they are backed up (excluding various dirs) to the OI box via rsync. The rsyncd config file is set up so that after every run, the destination directory has a snapshot taken with the date&time; I stopped using iSCSI for the same reasons you mentioned, so NFS and CIFS (except my daughters win7 boxes, since win7 home will not back up to a network share, whereas an iscsi target looks like a local disk.) _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
