Root on DRBD

In Root on DRBD Philipp Marek, Senior Developer at LINBIT, shows how to use DRBD to implement a block based backup solution for your mobile device. By putting the root file system directly upon DRBD it is possible to draw fast, incremental, space-efficient backups from your disk to a remote location. This guide explains the necessary steps and additional scripts required to fully automate the process.
