[BackupPC-users] Trying Again: BackupPC Update Damages/Misreads Archive Host Config
I ran a yum update on my Fedora 7 machine, and among all the other updates was one for BackupPC. My BackupPC package is now BackupPC-3.0.0-3.fc7 I might have had BackupPC-2.something beforehand), but I do not know for certain. The problem is that the machine that was my Archive machine now is being treated as a normal host, complete with a This PC has never been backed up!! message. The same old config.pl file is in place in that PC's directory, so I'm at a bit of a loss, given the on-line docs imply that it should be set up the same way it is. Any thoughts on what happened? or how to fix the archive record, and get back in production? Help! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[BackupPC-users] Extending / adding another pool location
Hi, I have a current BackupPC installation which uses it's local disks for the pool. I've been asked to use NAS storage for backing up an additional 6 servers we're adding to the backups. The NAS server we use is a Snap Server 650 (Linux based) so makes available it's storage via NFS, Samba, iSCSI. I'm not sure how to do this or whether it would work for BackupPC (I'm using the latest version). Can BackupPC use two disk areas? ie. keep it's existing servers (about 8 of them) backing up to local disk and then adding another area from NAS (NFS mounted for example) and tell it to backup the new 6 servers onto the NFS mount point? Or will I need a new BackupPC installation somewhere? Thanks. Michael. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Biggest drawback is that those PowerEdge 400SCs are power hogs compared to the system that Nicholas specced out. I'd estimate the PowerEdge to idle around 100 watts where his system will likely idle around half that.
