<font size="4">-- Although i am using DRBD , i want to take the daily backup of data to a tape drive . I want to take the backup from the secondary DRBD machine only (every day) . Is this is possible ? . I know that , we can't mount the secondary machine's DRBD partition onto the filesystem . I am not interested to Chane the secondary to primary on every day for backup purpose .

<font size="4">-- If i am using DRBD with Linux HA (heartbeat) , if the primary DRBD node goes down , the secondary DRBD node automatically changes to primary ? ( I don't want to manually execute the commands to change from secondary to primary ) .
