Using Backuppc (debian) successfully in my company for about 5 months,
backing up 6 winXX shares using samba.
The machine is a simple Pentium 4 with a 40GB HD that is getting full.
Already ordered a 250GB ata100 hd. but I'm not sure what to do...
should I use the 250Gb for the data only, or just replace the hd's using
ghost?!
move the contents of /var/lib/backuppc (or whereever your data pool is) to
the new drive, and then mount the new drive on /var/lib/backuppc. It's a
very good idea to have your data on a separate drive from the OS. At the
very least, use a separate partition on disk.
also, I would suggest using LVM on the data partition/disk. this will allow
you to add space much more easily in the future; or move your data to
another disk.
thanks...
but if I have 2 drives like that, what should I do if one fails?
if the data drive fails, then you have the OS drive to use to recover your
data (if possible); or at least to quickly set up the new data drive.
if the OS drive fails, you put in a new drive, boot with knoppix, install
backuppc to knoppix's ramdrive, and restore your OS drive from backup.
it *is* best to have a redundant drive array in any situation. for buisness
use, a 3ware RAID controller will more than pay for itself the first time
you have a drive problem.
Nice clarification. I think I will do this way.
And I think there's no reason for a 3ware controler. if i have to opt
for RAID I would use the raid on the board via sata raid.
we use it on our mailserver but it wasn't installed by me.
thanks. I have one more issue that iI will post on a new thread..
