If that's a Shuttle X29D, don't bother. It's too low on CPU for reasonable compression after the backup. But you can do this cheap. I run BackupPC on a cheap custom-built server and it works quite well. 3RU rackmount chassis, 40cm depth. 2x 3-drive SATA removable enclosure + 2 internal 6x 500GB drives for backup store 2x 80GB drives for OS 1 GB RAM Dual core Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz I may up the RAM to 2 GB, but it is barely swapping now. I built this unit for about £1500 2 years ago and it is still doing just fine.
