Hot Copy is a disk snapshot software available for Linux command line. It facilitates disk backup by taking on-demand snapshots of disks.
Looking for a reliable backup solution? Hot Copy Tip might be what you need. It can help you turn your legacy backups, such as tar and rsync, into online backups that are both consistent and point-in-time.
The process is simple: just take a Hot Copy of your disk before you begin your tar or rsync backup. Once you have your Hot Copy, simply back it up to create a consistent point-in-time online backup.
To use Hot Copy Tip, you can enter the command "hcp /dev/sda3" in your terminal. This will create a Hot Copy of your sda3 device. Then, you can run your regular tar backup command, this time adding the "-cvzpflS /var/hotcopy/sda3" option. This will back up your Hot Copy and turn it into a reliable online backup.
Overall, Hot Copy Tip is a useful tool for anyone looking to create consistent and reliable backups. Give it a try and see how it can help you ensure that your data is always safe and secure.
