Hi, > Can you restore these backups to another system? Such as one designated to do this job? Yes, I've thought about this a bit too. The problem that I see with this is that I'll only be able to have one restore at a time happening, since almost all our linux vm's have the same named VG's and LV's and they are on read-only media so I wouldn't be able to rename them.... I've going to have to keeping thinking about this one. Thanks for the pointers.
