Using fsfreeze (Linux only)

If you use the fsfreeze command to quiesce access to the file system before creating a snapshot, refer to the fsfreeze section in CTE Admin Guide in the Linux Utilities chapter on how to run the fsfreeze command to quiesce access to both the file system and the GuardPoint(s).

Warning

Do not use LDT schedules and do not pause LDT to align backup schedules with LDT. Instead, use the fsfreeze command.

• Running fsfreeze -f on the GuardPoint directory pauses LDT operations in-progress and freezes access to both the GuardPoint and the underlying file system.

• Running freeze -u reverses freeze -f, allowing access to underlying file system and resuming LDT operations.
