and now trying to disk but it's a complete nightmare as regards tape
management. The backup to file storage went ok for ages and now is stuck
'waiting for max storage jobs' which is odd as that's set to 20 and

I'll definitely look into BackupPC for HDD
Freenas is the way do it.

meet the demands of a large system.
Dual GigE ports with mtu modified will
