If the web server is hacked, the backup is at risk. If the backup is on a

Dan, but what's wrong in having BackupPC on the Web server as long as it's
doing the backup to a different partition, allocated only for backup?
Thank you,

best practices says that a backup device should be independant of the
devices it is backing up. dont run backuppc on your webserver for
production if you plan on backing up the webserver. also, apache is pretty
secure if that is what you are running, so as long as your havent broken
that security
It's because my only Linux system on the network is the Web server. It's not
a problem to back itself up on a local hard drive.
The problem I see is that the whole Linux system can be under attack and all
the hard drives could be compromised (or even wiped out).
Also I am still not very comfortable
both NTFS and CIFS/SMB support hard links. Hardlinks work across SMB on
remote NTFS volumes.
That being said, I highly suggest you look for other options. This will be
a slow, high CPU usage setup.
Dives are cheap. Expand the capacity of your backuppc server and save
yourself a lot of headache

Afaik BackupPC needs a filesystem which supports hard links to share
files between different backups.
As none of the Windows file systems allow hard linking I'd say it's not
possible.
