I was wondering if anyone had done this, and stored the pool over a redundant array of drives (like in my case, on 2x4TB drives in a Drobo FS) via an NFS mount that root can write to. I've noticed that if I copy something as a user, it strips off the UID/GID with a warning, but I'm not sure if that's something that would actually impact the way that BackupPC operates. Given that it does deduping, I think it already has an index of file metadata and a reference to where to find it inside the pool.
But I also don't want to screw up a working system, either, so wanted to see if anyone might know of some pitfalls ahead in this prospect. Worst case, I could just move some disks around now that I've expanded the Drobo, and mirror two 1TB drives just for the backup purposes with mdadm.
