I did say segregated...I wouldn't dream of using qcow as a backup for a 300+GB data set unless it operated in a vm as a qcow. Although I'm sure it would handle it just fine. The idea of 'fully backed up' is not necessarily a single solution, as said more than once in this thread. Cleaned of junk my 'fully backed' system (OS) could be maybe 12 GB. As said, the building blocks are gigs. Terabytes of user data is an entirely different issue.millpond wrote:The thing with the qemu-backup is whether the Linux utils can handle 300Gb+ , about what I need for this system, fully backed.

Re: Backup/System Restore
How about dump/restore? The package name is dump. dump can write to standard out which can be compressed, sent through an ssh tunnel, etc.
Example:
Dump levels are from 1 to 9, so you have a lot of flexibility.
Example:
Code: Select all
root # dump 0f - /mountpoint | gzip > full #full
root # dump 1f - /mountpoint | gzip > delta # changes since last level 0
