Hello all,

This post is issue from my another post about this problem:
"Cpool and pc quite are big according to size of backuped data and backup config" (which is still not solved :-/ )

I've got an SME server installed on a mirror and iBays mounted to a raid volume based on this How To:
http://wiki.contribs.org/AddExtraHardDisk (this work very well indeed :-) )

I need to backup some data stored on this iBays on a HDD which is not part of the RAID array and need to be removed to make a backup rotation.

To do so:
- I had to mount my HDD partition on a mount point like /mnt/hdd1
- BackupPc is installed in /opt/backuppc/
- I had to symlink /opt/backuppc/files/pc/localhost -> /mnt/hdd1/backuppc/pc/localhost/ - I had to copy cpool, log, pc, pool and trash directory from backuppc main directory to /mnt/hdd1/backupc/ (on my backup hdd) - There a manual rotation every two weeks between two of these disks (same dir and config.pl on each disks)

Backup and restore were doing well until HDDs ran out of space :-(
I checked backuppc documentation for a backup destination path but I didn't found any info about it...
Could be great to add such an option :-)

-> This post is quite concurrent with the other one but does someone has an experience with backuppc and backup on a HDD?

-> Do I need to mount my backup HDD to /top/backuppc/files/pc/localhost rather than doing a symlink?


Many thanks for your support,

Cheers,

Hervé
