Re: [Veritas-bu] Vxfs restore to linux ext3 filesystem on RHEL 5.5

How are you backing up the data? If it is a file level backup, then the source or destination file system shouldn't matter. From BAR, you can select the client with the vxfs file system as the source and the linux client as your destination. I don't think block size matters, because the file system will take care of that all on its own under the covers.

If you are doing any type of block level replication outside of NBU and want to mount the replicated volume, you have more than the file system differences to deal with.

Quick question, I'm trying to get confirmation to the following question : Can you restore a file from vxfs file system to an ext3 file system ? There is nothing fancy like checkpoint etc on the source file system, I believe block sizes need to match up for a successful restore ... can anyone clarify please ?
