isn't a tcp protocol, and the lack of error checking on transmissions
allows good speed in communications between server and storage unit. It
just presents itself as a blank disk to the OS, and the OS formats it
however you desire. I generally choose XFS for backuppc, and have never had
an issue. If you do this however you want the low tech solutions, just a
single box and cat5. Getting something that basically acts as a samba
server as a front end to your storage will kill the possible speed. Having
a dedicated 4,8,16, or 24 bay storage unit that appears local to the
backuppc server has served me quite well, but as mentioned elsewhere in
this thread, you don't want to share it with other boxes.
