Re: [LUG] Batch Converter

 

I am running a 1tb laptop drive and also a 240gb ssd that has Ubuntu installed on. Do I need to back this drive up as well please? Or can I backup the laptop drive and then install ZFS on the 1tb. Is there a point where the 240gb drive needs it as well?

Thanks

Actually once you've got the files off it then using it to experiment a 
bit (safely) with ZFS might be a good idea.

What's your OS, version, etc? If it's Ubuntu then installing ZFS is as 
easy as installing any other package.
