|I'm wondering how other news admins do backups on the news partitions?

[always the contrarian]

we backup our newspool and newslib just like most other partitions (on
a daily/weekly/monthly schedule).  however newspool and newslib live on
different partitions so there is the option of just doing newslib.

if you should chance to run certain backup programs on a newspool while
expire is running the resulting image may well be of little value.

why do i do this?  in the grand scheme of things a couple hundred meg
is not a big deal in our dumps and i think the problems we avoid
getting back up to speed are worth a few feet of tape.  however i do
have a large community of consumers.
