Hi all, I've just set up BackupPC and have to say it's brilliant. I'm using it to replace out current Netbackup based system which luckily is still running along side the new BackupPC system. Reading from this list has been invaluable. I work for a major local government emergency service in the UK and compared to the more expensive alternatives it's winning friends all round here. Anyway, I'm here to vent a little because I'm very sad. I've set up BackupPC to back up to a Coraid 20TB unit with a Raid6 configuration that can tolerate 2 disk failures. I just logged in to do my Sysadmin checks and found 3 bloody disks have failed totally ruining my BackupPC filesystem. 18 Linux system backups, 5TB of backups, hundreds of fulls and incrementals all down the pan. The tape backup side isn't even started yet so I can't even recover my BackupPc config, we've got some engineers coming in to install that side in a couple of weeks.
All that work, all that effort. Not BackupPC's fault at all. But still I could cry. Apologies for posting here but no one else could understand my current anguish. Buggery bugger bugger bum shit bob shag. and Cheers...
