gluster volume snap shot - basic questions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi everybody,

I am looking into the snap shot tool, following this tutorial:
http://blog.gluster.org/2014/10/gluster-volume-snapshot-howto/

While having successfully created the LVM, gluster volume and one snapshot, there are some questions arrising where I was hoping to find some guidence here:

1. From a working setup as in the example I rebooted and everything was gone. How can I make this setup persistent, so the gluster share is up and running after boot.

2. I understand that the snaps are under /var/run/gluster/snaps/ and I found them there. Is it save to simply copy them to another server for backup? My goal is to create a backup each day and transfer the snaps to an FTP-Server in order to be able to recover from a broken machine.

3. Do I really need LVM to use this feature? Currently my setup works on the native system. As I understand the tuturial I would need to move that to a LV, right?

Thank you in advance on any help!
