Yes it works with NFS. But it scales poorly I am running a small installation. only 23 hosts. on a 6TB nfs nas, using mostly gigabit ethernet. 5.9T 3.4T 2.6T 57% /var/lib/backuppc speed varies between 1 MB/sec and 8MB/sec with the average laying about 3MB/sec for a full backup. and 0.5MB/sec for incremental cpu is often in iowait during backups. mark: this is all server hardware intel server gigabit network cards. and lsi sas raid controller with sata 500GB raid edition harddrives > Romain > > > > > Stephen Joyce > <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > unc.edu> A > Envoyé par : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > backuppc-users-bo t > [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc > eforge.net > Objet > Re: [BackupPC-users] Using a NAS > 31/03/2008 16:17 Server to backups > > > > > > > > > > > On Mon, 31 Mar 2008, Tino Schwarze wrote: > > > > On Mon, Mar 31, 2008 at 03:14:34PM +0200, Ronny Aasen wrote: > > > > > > > I would like to know if it's possible and how to configure BackupPC > in > > > > > order to use a NAS server instead of the path /datas of BackupPC > (for > > > > > example). > > > > > > > > Sure, it's possible to do an NFS mount of a remote disk, and use that > for > > > > your BackupPC storage. > > > > In all likelihood tho, it will be terribly slow.
