Hello, I've got a question about server backups.
Scenario: You want to perform a daily backup of a web server content at /var/www/ to a mounted device at /media/netbackup. To do this you run a daily job as follows: tar cpf /media/netbackup/fullbackup-`date '+%d-%B-%Y'`.tar /var/www Your /var/www/ is 10GB in size. The question is, do you require at least 10GB of free space on the web server's hard disk drive in order to build the tar archive before sending it off to the mounted device, or is the archive built on the mounted device instead? Thanks as usual :-) Chris -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
