Often you'll get much better performance with backup if you write a custom set of scripts which respects the working set on each node and which also allows the backup to proceed in parallel across the filesystem. What makes a good backup solution depends on the application and the I/O pattern, so it is tricky to make any generic suggestions, Steve. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
