Dynamic & GPT Volumes:

DYN1 VolGroup00-LogVol00 15269888 Ext3

DYN2 VolGroup00-LogVol01 1048576 Linux Swap

The system has three physical disks (Disk 1, Disk 2, and Disk 3). Two logical volumes, DYN1 and DYN2,

are arranged across basic volumes 1-2 and 2-1. Disk 3 includes Acronis Secure Zone which is not

normally backed up.

To back up the logical volume DYN1, select the volume DYN1.

To back up all three hard disks, select the volumes 1-1, 3-1, DYN1 and DYN2.

If you select Disk 2, volume 1-2 or volume 2-1, the program will create a raw (sector-by-sector)

backup.

To back up the logical DYN1 volume by using the command-line interface, run the following command

(here, the name of the backup is assumed to be /home/backup.tib):

trueimagecmd --partition:dyn1 --filename:/home/backup.tib --create

2.10. Backing up RAID arrays (Linux)

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Linux can back up and recover Linux Software RAID devices

(known as multiple-disk devices or MD devices) and hardware RAID arrays.

Software RAID arrays

Software RAID arrays, or MD devices, combine several volumes and make solid block devices

(/dev/md0, /dev/md1, ..., /dev/md31), information of which is stored in /etc/raidtab or in dedicated

areas of those volumes.

Backup

You can back up active (mounted) software arrays in the same way as logical volumes. The arrays

appear at the end of the list of volumes available for backup.

Basic volumes included in software arrays are listed as if they had a corrupted file system or do

not have a file system at all. Backing up such volumes does not make sense when a software

array is mounted, as it won’t be possible to recover them.

Example

Here is an example of a volumes list obtained with the --list command. The GUI displays a similar

table.
