For now backup hdd is connected as JBOD to the main RAID controller. I made a script which is executed via Webmin to stop/start backuppc, umount/mount the hdd, remove it from RAID controller/rescan the controller for new inserted disk.

Nice tips you told here :-)
With a swappable SATA enclosure I could dd one backup of 2 weeks on one hdd and the backup of the following 2 weeks on the other one and do the rotation... I'll think about it.

My current system is using one of these with 750 gig drives:

and I use mdadm to fail/remove/add the disks that rotate, momentarily stopping backuppc and unmounting to get a clean filesystem.

On a smaller system I might consider the laptop-form external USB drives that you can get in sizes to 250 gigs now and just unmount and dd the internal partition to it.

Thanks for the tips and help :-)

I'll let you know how it goes.

Cheers,

Hervé
