I see what you're saying. Put big disks in the older hardware. I would actually say that you're better off using the more powerful hardware for backuppc; backuppc will use all the CPU and RAM you can get. The more hardware you have, the faster backups will go, and the more you can do in parallel (tho I've found that even on really fast hardware, more than 2 backups in parallel causes too much disk contention). -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
