[Novalug] client server backup systems

[Paul]

What OS?  If talking about Solaris, the latest 08-07 can do live
incremental backups on ZFS's.  Very easy to work with.  And on RHE, I do
live full snapshot backups using LVM.  I've never researched whether that
can be done incrementally or not.  But I believe ZFS is making it's way to
Linux.
