Hi, this made me really angry. Package yast2-backup is missing for 13.2: http://software.opensuse.org/package/yast2-backup Why? This was one of the most useful YaST modules! Is there any replacement?
It had no maintainer AFAIK. Yast-snapper is probably its successor.
No way. There is no relation whatsoever between a backup, stored on different media, and a snapshot, which by definition is on the same media, and thus may have been destroyed.
YaST backup could, in theory, recover from bare bones.
+1 Snapper style 'snapshots' are an artefact of BtrFS's COW mechanisms. They are quite different from an 'snapshot' for backup purposes such as might be taken with a LVM partition copy, a rsync copy, or as Vojtěch mentions, a TAR copy. The idea that backups are not important as Cristian implies is quite unacceptable. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
