Hi,

Actually, that's what Volume backup mode is for - you can go there and uncheck the volume that is mounted on the mountpoint. For example, if you have /dev/MyVolGroup/mediavol mounted on /mnt, then just exclude "mediavol" in the volume selection step.

Thanks!

That's right,, you'll have to change that. In general, having a backup of /boot and root partitions should be enough for bare-metal restore and boot.

Thanks!
