Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC Data Directory on a Network Attached Storage

[Brien Dieterle]

Most NFS servers are pitifully slow compared to a local filesystem, particularly when dealing with many small files.  It pains me to think about how slow that might get-- is anyone else using a non-local filesystem? brien Simon Köstlin wrote: I think TCP is a safer connection or plays that none rolls? Also when I click on a PC in the web interface it takes around 20-30 seconds until the web page appears with the backups which were made. I thought that would be better with an other connection. But that time is not dependent on the size of the backups. I made backups with just some files and it takes that time to load also if I have Backups with 3GB. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Les Mikesell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 25.

The NAS supports NFS, SMB, FTP, CIFS and SSH. I tried to mount an NFS Share on the NAS and that works well. So I can use the Data Directory in this Share. But the NAS supports only a UDP connection with NFS. Are there any other solutions to use a TCP connection? I tried also SMB, but that did not work with BackupPC. I mounted a Share with SMB and that works, but when I wanted to start BackupPC, BackupPC did not start. I only found a log directory on the Share with the LOG file in which was an error like bind() failed. Does anybody know why SMB does not work with BackupPC? Or are there any other solutions like to mount a FTP connection? I hope anybody can help me. Backuppc must be able to create hard links between the files in the pc backup directories and the pool directories. Of the protocols above NFS is the only one that will support hard links. Why is running NFS over UDP a problem for you?
