Raw Device Backup

Raw device backup can be used for backing up very large partitions very quickly, because the whole device is backed up without looking at the file system structure. This can be used on some high performance databases that access the database using raw device interfaces. Bacula can backup and restore a raw device. For restore, Bacula must have exclusive use of the device.
