You are probably already aware of this, but an SSD’s life expectancy is based
on the number of writes. Therefore, utilizing an SSD as the cache drive and
the OS drive might require some additional considerations over the long haul.

Regarding the location of the "pc" folder... I think I need to re-visit that
since I created a symlink from /var/lib/BackupPC and moved the entire contents
of that folder to my platters. It sounds like I need to undo that to keep the
"pc" folder on the SSD. Would a better move be to create a symlink just to the
"cpool" folder? ie:
ln -s /mnt/backup-volume/BackupPC/cpool /var/lib/BackupPC/cpool
and leave "pool" and "pc" on the SSD with the operating system?
Either way of linking works with the same results when the actual 'pc' folder
is on SSD. However, I would keep both 'pool' and 'cpool' on the platters since
they serve the same purpose (one when using compression, the other when not -
usually only one of them is being used anyway).
Best regards,
Johan
