I think my question was misunderstood, woops. The actual question was in the
2nd paragraph - the 1st paragraph was just a thanks note. :)
When a large full backup runs, it first fills it with hardlinks to existing

Hi,
I need to set up a backup solution for at least 10 linux machines,
probably more. We do not want do do any full system backups, we are only
interested in backing up a couple of directories on each machine. Mostly

Hi
I am using backuppc on more servers and i want to check status with nagios.
That is why i am usign check_backuppc plugin from
http://n-backuppc.sourceforge.net/.
Everything works well, but there is one feature that is not good for me. I
want to see if backups fails, but on some backups i ba
You might not get a response that helps you here. This list is
specifically for supporting backuppc users, and your question is
regarding a 3rd party plugin for some other system entirely. Check any
readme files provided with the plugin to locate the author. I couldn't
easily find the contac

John,
IMO, the point behind BackupPC is to use cheap, easily upgradeable disk
media to make backups available and easy. That kind of steers me in the
direction of several low-end backup servers, either with separate
storage or all sharing a big fat fiber channel NAS. Buying a high end

I agree with what Jason wrote, particularly in regards to a 3ware
controller. I also like reiserfs, but for 1.5 Tb a strong case could be made
for XFS or JFS, depending on your standard issues like many small files in
the backup, or fewer larger files.
I would also consider raid 5 or 6. Nothing i

I make sure I turn off tail packing (mount option 'notail') with reiserfs

For a backupPC server you need to remember that the process is disk
bound, not CPU bound. In my tests, software RAID would be ample for what
you are wanting to put together, and if you have a controller die it is
easy to get another one as the RAID configuration isn't dependant on the
