I was gonna put it on 2x400GB in RAID0 and having that data backed up on another rig but didn't think that'd be such a good idea.
As an update, while my graphs haven't updated, my pool info is back! I realized the extra 100GB was from the new files I wanted to start backing up so that explains that part of the deal. Now I question if I should add more spindles or not. I wanted to run the OS on a USB flash drive but feared if the unmounted /var/lib/backuppc disappeared, the USB drive would fill up and that'd be many many writes to it I would not want to happen which could slow down and slowly max out the number of writes. Since you noted RAID5 being bad for this, what sort of RAID did you have in mind? My original idea for this machine was a RAID 10, but that's a lot of spinning disks and a lot of power draw. I'm trying the most power-efficient approach at the moment. Would switching to an Atom-based dual-core or single-core server speed this up at all or be of equal speed? I know the Atom processors are slow, but since the processor is constantly at 100%, having two cores instead of one might not be such a bad idea. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by saturn2...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
