Tar works pretty good too, and it's quite a bit faster. To be honest though, BackupPC's data directory should ALWAYS be on an LVM as it makes moving it SO much easier.
When making the file system, I usually use this command line: mke2fs -b 1024 -i 1024 -j -m 1 -O dir_index,has_journal,sparse_super,resize_inode -t ext3 -v (partition location) followed by: tune2fs -c 31 -e remount-ro -o acl,journal_data On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 3:15 AM, Tino Schwarze <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sun, Dec 06, 2009 at 06:06:32PM -0500, Alan McKay wrote: >> On Thu, Jun 4, 2009 at 10:29 PM, Johan Cwiklinski <[email protected]> wrote: >> > If you've used the official RPM from Fedora, all configuration files are >> > under /etc/BackuPC.
