Best to use LVM (over RAID if you like) for future expansion flexibility.
I happen to use OpenFiler as a NAS host for the same reason - can act
as an iSCSI host as well as all the mainstream filesharing protocols,
relatively easy to set up compared to building your own from a generic
distro.
Note
That lead me to my problem. I had my ssh keys setup so root could access
the other server without a password, but I did not have backuppc user setup
to access root@host without a password. Fixing this solved my problem.
Thanks!

When last I tried, backuppc didn't support this with its rsync
transport. I had to make a workaround.
Here's how I do it:
First, use rsyncd instead of rsync as the transport on the client side,
and set up your rsyncd secrets file.
For /etc/rsyncd.conf use something like this:
uid = root

just wanted to know if it possible to create an "exponential" aging of

I'm currently using lots of excludes to build up a backup over a slow link
in stages ..thanks to this list for this suggestion.
I was wondering if there is an option for rysnc / backuppc to ignore files
say over 500Mbytes ? This would be most useful in getting the initial backup

Does this work?
On the BackupPC box:
su - backuppc
ssh testbox -l root
I just setup BackupPC on a server and I'm working to get it working via
rsync with some of our servers. I have ssh keys setup so that root can ssh
from the host server to the client server without requiring a login.
When I try to run a full backup to the client I get this:

I'm a newbie with limited Linux experience, but I've had BPC running for about
a week on a test machine running Centos 5.5. So far I've successfully gotten
