I've used BackupPC on a Drobo device. Performance sucked compared to local disk, and it was a lot more pain to set up. The Drobo is entirely too clever, and will only support ext3 filesystems. So if you want to run XFS or something else you'll run into all kinds of odd errors (I don't remember the specifics). -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
