 Most Linux systems now support the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) for storing all types of data, from filesystems to raw database data. SBAdmin provides a simple user interface for performing LVM snapshot backups.
Now, when performing any SBAdmin backup of LVM data, a copy of the live changing data is automatically created, allowing the original data to be "frozen in time" at the point of the backup. At the same time, users can continue accessing and updating the changed data while the backup is running.
When this "hot backup" completes, the system is returned to normal operation, and the entire pocess is completely transparent to the users.
The interface gives you several options such as which logical volume to create the snapshot, whether to create them all at once or sequentially and whether to continue or fail if there is a problem.
