That seems to be the point of LTFS. It allows solutions like rdiff-backup to write to tape without modification. It presents a filesystem interface to rdiff-backup and translates that into tape commands on the backend.
Hm... Good point, I didn't consider that.
LTFS seems to work best with large files. rdiff-backup makes no effort to consolidate small files, but if your files being backed up, it should perform well.
Yes, lots of large files. Spanning tapes with LTFS would be the big question. A quick google shows that it may be possible. I'll have to dig deeper. Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
