2011-01-17 Thread itismike
I've used the GUI to specify that only files in my home folder are backed up (excluding the ~/.Private folder since that contains only encrypted files.) This results in the following entry in the client-specific *.pl file: $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = { '/home/michael/' => [ '' ] }; $Conf{Ba

Jonathan, I have set up a "cluster" where I have 10 backuppc servers (backup01 - 10), each one connected to LUN on a SAN. I run 4 streams on each server with no problems and backup over 1500 Mac workstations. In my testing, I found I got a bigger bang for the buck using smaller 1U single proc

The problem isn't cpu or memory but rather disk i/o will limit you. The best thing to do is split your clients among a few various backuppc servers with their own storage. Donny B. Sent via Donny's BlackBerry Torch -Original Message- From: Jonathan Schaeffer Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2011 17
