Hello!

After raid controller failure the pool file system is running in read 
only mode.
Making a file system check would take several days (ext3 fs, 13TB of 16 
TB used)
and success is not garanteed.

So the question is: Is it possible to run backuppc in a read only 
environment,
not to make backups, but to restore files?

Regards
Frank Wolkwitz
