We're loving BackupPC as well. I built a system using BackupPC and a server attached to a CoRAID EtherDrive filled with 15 750 gig SATA drives. This gives us a capacity of around 9 terabytes (after spares drives, etc) for backing up servers all across the country over VPN connections. Once you have your base setup, it's easy to add more backup clients to the system and see how they're all doing over the web interface Dustin Puryear wrote: > Hi, just wanted to make a quick note.
