I have a half-dozen of these servers in place working very nicely.
Removable IDE drives that get swapped weekly.
I've always been interested in this, backing up the backup server. Most
of my sites at the moment are just backup servers. The clients know that
the server itself doesn't get backed up.
What kind of setup are you using with removable drives? entire backuppc
directory lives on seperate partition, or only pool and pc directories?
how do you manage it? stop backuppc, unmount, swap drive, remount, start
backuppc? What happens when the changeover happens? if you did this
weekly would it mean that as soon as you swap and restart backuppc that
all clients attempt either a full or incremental?
TIA for your insights :-)
Except for an rsync problem with RHEL 4 (anyone else facing this?!?), it's
working perfectly...
I'm not sure about any rsync problems on RHEL4, can you elaborate? We've
always noticed that rsync falls behind on RHEL4 (in versions), along
with many other rpm's like spamassassin, perl etc. In most cases we have
built the latest rsync from source on RHEL4 and the like and all seems well.

Les
