I've got BackupPC running on a CentOS server (working fine with Windows 10 PCs, by the way!). I'd like to back up, on occasion, the data BackupPC stores.
For other servers, network shares, and CCTV footage, I use LTO-5 Ultrium tapes and just use tar on the CentOS server connected to the tape drive; nothing proprietary going on. But, where does BackupPC store it's data? (I could probably figure that one out pretty easily.) More of a question is, how would backing up the pooled data to an external source work out? I have approx. 3.8 TB of data before pooling and compression, approx 1 TB of data after pooling and compression. So, I'd need to plan on 3.8 TB of external storage were I to back up BackupPC's data, correct? If I just used the regular tar commands to back up the data directory for BackupPC, would it be able to preserve the user permissions? As in, could I still tell what came from what PC if I just copied the data directory? (I'm probably making this more complex than it is...) +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
