Properly done, snapshots hardly take any space. What you need to snapshot is the bitmap, and then only make a copy of changed blocks. That's the way it's done on things like a NetApp Filer. When you install a new driver, perhaps you only need a meg or two of backup files - everything else stays the same. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
