Does dump work reliably on an ext3 filesystem? Here's the senario: I have a raid 5 linux system ( RH 7.3 ). I currently backup the system to tape in case of catastrophic failure. I am up to multitape backups for full user partitions.I want to use incremental dumps and spread my full system dumps further apart, but tme man page says dump can be used for ext2. There is no mention of ext3 one way or the other. Assuming 1 tape drive, the need to do backups unattended, the inability to shut the system down everttime I need to dump files, I need to use dump unless someone has a better solution. New backup h/w etc in not an option as i have already submitted need for tape library etc and its working its way through the corporate higharchy but it may be 6 month untill I see something. As always, all input is appreciated.
