[OpenIndiana-discuss] Backups and snapshots

[Dan Swartzendruber]

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.)
