From TLE-BU; The Linux Experience, BackUp
Main Page :: Device
- In the realm of TLE-BU, a 'device' is any collective unit of space used for storage. This could be a normal hard drive partition, a network mounted block device, a loop-back device or any other 'device' that happens to come along in the future.
- TLE-BU is complete agnostic to the underlying mechanics. So long as the operating system can read from a device, TLE-BU will back it up. Likewise, so long as the underlying operating system can write to a device, TLE-BU will let you use it as a place to store backed up data. Please note though, TLE-BU will warn you before you try to backup to a device with a file system that does not store Unix-style file permissions.
