Ok, I am looking to set up Samba Shadow Copy, which, I believe,
requires LVM style snapshots. However when I am looking to set up
snapshots it seems that if I want three snap shots of a 10GB partition I need a
30 GB partition to hold it. Is their no more elegant way? For example
if file X never changes why would I need four copies of X (Original + three
snapshots)? What I want is something that looks at folder AI and sees
files X, Y, Z, & W, then at the next timed interval sees that Y has changed
(We will call it Y1) so now instead of making another copy of X, Y, Z, & W it
adds Y1 to the back up of folder AI with a time stamp. If I have to make
three full copies for three full restore points I think I would rather just
dump my rsynch off sight back ups across the net four times a day, or at least
make a local rsynch backup.
But alas, that defeats the purpose as I can not find any way
to integrate rsynch with Samba Shadow Copy. I have also looked at Samba
Recycler, but can not find anyone who can tell me how it integrates with
windows.
Thoughts?
