Bear in mind I'm talking lvm snapshots, not ZFS ...
And you can configure snapshots to grow as required.
I know it's nothing really to do with backups, but if you read the raid
wiki page https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/System2020 - that's how
I set up my system, with a smattering of lvm. Just look at the sections
pvcreate, vgcreate, lvcreate, it'll tell you how to create the lvm. Then
you just format your lvcreate'd partitions, and you can mount them,
snapshot them, whatever them.
So you can either have one backup partition per source partition, or one
backup partition and copy all your sources into just that one.
Your choice :-)
Cheers,
Wol
