Re: [BackupPC-users] usb slow for random access? (was Re: Using rsync for blockdevice-level synchronisation of BackupPC pools)

USB is slower because a) there is an additional protocol translation to/from USB b) USB chipsets must hand off data to the CPU for processing which causes each piece of data to have additional latency going through the CPU once as raw USB packets to be translated by the driver and then again by wha

[BackupPC-users] Setting up a new BackupPC server

I'm setting up a new BackupPC server as my current one has gotten full. This system has 2G RAM, quad Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz and a 3ware 6.5T array. I believe the array is currently RAID5 with no hot spare. From what I'm reading, RAID5 is a no-no as is ext3? What is the best way to

[BackupPC-users] Client with dynamic IP, backups cut off at 24h

My backuppc server is running on a dedicated server with a static IP, my client is using a dynamic IP, which is reset every 24h. When doing backups that take longer than 24h, the backups fail and soon start over from scratch. I have noticed this happening for 5 days when somehow backuppc manage
