To backup everythink on the system, I run the single use mode, It kill all the application runned ... so after, I mount bind root fs and o= ver=20 sub fs in tmp dir, mount my backup dir in another tmp dir and run mirror with rsync =46ast, excellent, could easyly be migrate on another kind of server, or co= uld=20 restore only some filesystem. It's good !
