Does anyone use OS snapshot as the file system backup solution in the pg_ho=
tbackup instead of tar? Using tar for a small database is not a problem is=
when you have a database that will be close to a Terrabyte in size it can =
be a problem. I was wondering if changing the file system backup solution =
to a snapshot instead has been done. I have PostgreSQL databases on Red Ha=
t Linux and x86 64 bit Solaris. The larger database will be on the Solaris=
server.
Thanks,
