Hello, for a small office with 2 PCs I would like to setup a samba and backup-server (using backuppc).
I'm running BackupPC on three other servers (Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz). Since I have an unused Pentium III running at 900 MHz and 512 MB RAM I would like to know, if this small machine can be used as a BackupPC-Server. Why: It is very quiet and has a nice form factor. Any feedback? Kind regards - P hil ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- I think it should work without too much problems. I would put your samba shares on a different disk than the backuppc pool and add RAM if you can. There was a discussion some time ago about actual needs for backuppc and some use pretty high end hardware (for a lot of clients) while others go the other end. I think your main concern would be first different HD's for pool & samba. If you backup after working hours, which happens automatically if they are on all the time (like the servers) you might even put everything on one disk.
