I run BackupPC as a VM in my environment which backs up all of the other VM’s in my environment and I expressly use external storage (an NFS appliance) to store the Pool file system so that backups are not stored on the same storage as the systems it’s backing up.
If, for some reason, the primary storage becomes corrupted, the backups should still be accessible once a replacement BackupPC server is built and the external pool of data is presented to it. -- Ray Frush "Either you are part of the solution T:970.491.5527 or part of the precipitate." -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Colorado State University | IS | System Administrator > On Dec 16, 2019, at 06:08, orsomannaro <orsomann...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Considering that: > > - pool must point to a single file system > - size of SO+application may become negligible compared to pool storage > - it is really hard to browse/restore backup data without BackupPC interface > > Assuming to run BackupPC on a virtual machine, there is some reason to mount > the pool on an external storage? > > > _______________________________________________ > 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/
