In the current "SysAdmin" magazine (April, 2003, Vol. 12, No. 4, Pgs

"file system snapshots" with amanda backups.
Very nice; thanks for the pointer.
I'd also point out that FreeBSD 5.0 and beyond also supports filesystem
snapshots, so this will also be of interest on smaller machines in the near
future.
You mean smaller than my 400MHz pc running the latest Solaris version? :))
On my 333 MHz fileserver with Linux 2.4.18 it even works :-)
2 disks 80 GByte with software RAID 1 and lvm snapshots,
all on a pc that nobody wants on his desk!
