Does anyone use OS
snapshot as the file system backup solution in the pg_hotbackup instead of
tar? Using tar for a small database is not a problem is when you have a
database that will be close to a Terrabyte in size it can be a problem. I
was wondering if changing the file system backup solution to a snapshot instead
has been done. I have PostgreSQL databases on Red Hat Linux and x86 64 bit
Solaris. The larger database will be on the Solaris
server.
