[lbackup-discussion] LBackup Question

[henri]

Also, a couple of further questions : 

(1) Have you run LBackup successfully in the past with the current configuration

(2) Is the destination for the backup on a DAS or is it accessed via the network?

Thanks.

However, I would suggest that before you attempt to repair any file system(s) you should first make a sure you have a up to date backup of any important files. If the hardware is failing then attempting a repair could make the volume(s) un-mountable.
