TI8 & LVM

[lemt]

hi, would just like to ask if TI8 for linux really supports LVM.

its because after succesfully installing TI8 it asks me to remove lvm-mod, this is a module that runs lvm, the installation says to remove it from the running kernel before running trueimage. how am i suppose to do that when my root partition is mounted on an lvm parition ???

was also hoping for a command that looks something like:

trueimagecmd /foo/bar /bar/foo.tib

that can backup mount points to a .tib file.

thanks,
---Lem

Please be aware that the latest build (989) Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Linux supports LVM only in case of using kernel versions 2.6.x and higher. I would therefore recommend you to upgrade to the higher kernel version in order to be able to use Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Linux with LVM.

Please issue the following command in order to find more information on how to use trueimagecmd interface: man trueimagecmd

Please also take a look at Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Linux User's Guide (http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/download/docs/) for details.
