Not all Linux installations support LVM - oh yeah, I forgot, you consider a consumer-NAS to be a "fringe" case. > 2) You don't have to move it anywhere, you can just start a new repository > elsewhere What if you want to move your old data? > 3) My filesystem isn't dedicated by any means, and I can't think of a good > reason to do so So please enlighten me on how you back up your BackupPC pool without copying everything else on the filesystem. But I agree - if you never want to just copy or move your old Backuppc data (including all your old data and without copying everything else on the partition) then there is no problem - but then again that was the whole point of this thread!! But if you want to change the question to I have no need to move or copy my Backuppc pool then obviously you have no need for any of the solutions discussed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
