I bought a 1TB disk yesterday for the same purpose. Since 1TB filesystem sounds very scary I used LVM to create separate logical volumes for each backup tree (I use incremental rsync trees with hardlinks, google for more info). I used ext3 since it is stable and supports resizing trivially). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
