  • Backup GFS2 FS

    Posted on

    Hello Guys,

    thanks for your assistance with .

    I am trying to backup my GFS2 file systems. Here is what Red Hat recommends :

    The best way to make a GFS2 backup is to create a hardware snapshot on the SAN, present the snapshot to another system, and back it up there. The backup system should mount the snapshot with -o lockproto=lock_nolock since it will not be in a cluster.

    We have the snapshots from san already. How do we proceed from here?

    The GFS2 file systems are using lvm.

    Thank you

    Arrey
