One minor annoyance with this is the old concept of a default backup resource. This makes far less sense now that we have so many more possible resources. Unfortunately, certain operations require setting the default resource, and backups don't let you easily change it for a one time operation. I hope that's changed in a future version. But that's a minor nit-pick; overall these are wonderful new features.

An important notice just out with this:

Information about 2.6 Linux Kernel Support



BackupEDGE 02.01.01 now supports 2.6 Linux kernels. RecoverEDGE

currently does not support LVM or md software raid.  Disaster

recovery of systems using LVM or md will not function.



This release also adds support for Fedora Core 3, with the following

limitations:



    * Remember that FC3 has been described by Red Hat as not a

    supported distribution of Linux.  * Because of the frequency

    of updates to FC3, support is on a "best effort" basis. While

    we will make every effort to keep up with the latest patches

    to it, we cannot guarantee that they will not be introduced

    faster than we can qualify them.
