Please give more details about "snapshot" of what do you want to do.

Snapshot of the system, snapshot of database data. Snapshot of some or all file systems?

[ramadashsuresh]

Now i want snapshot of some file systems only

if any different procedure is there to apply a snaphot of database data and system snapshot
compare to file system snapshot?

r u talking about OSSV(Open System Snap vault) backup tool?

[Stuart Browne]

or LVM Snapshots, or rsnapshot, or database snapshot tools?

[ramadashsuresh]

Only a LVM Snapshot

It's pretty simple, but instead of writing it all out, how about I just point you to Tony Lawrence's site..

He's a good bloke, and know's what he's on about (even if he is an SCO Ace.. ;P)
