Hello Dan & ..., back from a 2 weeks vacation time to implemend your ideas about how to backup the backuppc-server.
I'll try to add a 3rd harddrive to my RAID1-setup. As far I understand you also mentioned two other possibilities: 1) builting a iSCSI-device by using another pc. I didn't know that this is possible, but doing while browsing the web, I found: "Don't put your iSCSI SAN on your regular IP network, either. There's plenty of traffic running over that, and iSCSI is bandwidth-intensive. Also consider whether your servers have enough CPU power to handle iSCSI. Unwrapping and reassembling iSCSI packets can take a lot of CPU time." Since I didn't found a beginner-friendly step-by-step guide, I think I have to wait until I gain more experience in order to try to setup an own iSCSI-device. 2) AoE - ATA-over-Ethernet. Sounds really interesting but also seems to be harder to implement than adding another disk to my raid-system. > Maybe I'm crazy, I don't know! uhm .. maybe you just know much much more than I know about linux, server-administration :-) As soon as I have succesfully added more disks to my raid I'll update the wiki and will also your ideas (iSCSI, AoE). - Kurt ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
