[BackupPC-users] Anyone Using Buffalo LS-WXL NAS Storage with Backuppc

2011-07-09 Thread Mark Phillips
I was wondering if anyone has setup a Buffalo LS-WXL RAID1 NAS to work with backuppc? How did you do it? Cifs? Has anyone tried installing Debian and backuppc on the device itself as opposed to mounting it using cifs? Did you see any speed advantage in running backuppc locally on the NAS?

Thank-you to everyone for their suggestions. I think I will go with an external eSATA drive. The P3 may not be fast enough, in which case I assume moving to a faster machine will be easier with an external than an internal drive. Please let me know if this is not the case! I was looking on
