Would it improve backuppc performance to use RAID1 with 3 drives? Obviously writes are not improved, but it would seem the majority of work done on the FS are random reads... ie, new files, and unlinks for old expiring files/backups are the only writes (ok, plus logging). Other than that, there is a lot of reading both for every backup as well as for the nightly prune process. Currently, I'm using linux software RAID1 from md, with 2 x 1TB SATAII HDD's, but thinking that adding a third HDD might improve performance (albeit not increasing capacity).
