[BBLISA] Re: [CentOS] Help with dump/restore

[Scott Ehrlich]

I tried tar, but it complained about some things, so I'm now looking at rsync. 
I want to back up to our Overland LTO3 tape library connected to the server via 
a SCSI card.   One filesystem is /home, and the other is /var.

I'd want to create a full backup, with verbose output, and weekly incrementals.

Again, files may be in-use during backups - no databases in use at this time. 
I just have to live with the in-use files situation.

What would be the best rsync method to the local lto3 library (full magazine 
with 12 LTO3 400/800 GB tapes).

Thanks again.

Scott
