yes, corruption can happen silently in the background! regular fsck can

This is true, samba does in fact support hard links but it is really just
like another NFS! the filesystem on the other end of the cifs share must
support hardlinks as samba is just the layer translating over the network.
Samba can scale better than NFS also.
I don't know if samba support hardlin

It seems like the the OS involved on each side is the determining factor,

It actually does support "resuming" of backups because the failed backup is
a partial and the net one will take advantage of the files that have already
been transfered. unfortunately, rsync will still need to scan all the files
and do checksums and all that good stuff so it still takes time.

definitely use rsync/rsyncd if possible. I do find that smb can be much
faster on a local lan but you have to deal with file locks on the client
side as well as permission issues as samba does not give all the same
information as the real filesystem the file sit on.

rsync backups are quite slow. over slow links this is more than made up for
by the decrease in network bandwidth used but on a high speed lan it is very
slow. I am on gigabit from my desktop to my backuppc server but rarely

wow. id have to say that your cant trust that backup! partial backups
every night? no consistent time which there would actually be a full
backup? *maybe* every now and then? This is as good as not having a
backup.
consider
1) do you need to backup all of the files on that system? are there
full or incremental really discribes how they are stored on backuppc. a
full will hang around longer than an incremental. As far as the actual
transfer, the only real difference is that a 'full' doesnt skipp files that
have the same mtime where an incremental skips those files. This causes a
ful
I have a thought here, thought id run it through the users list before
dropping it on the devs.
My idea was to add a small step to the backuppc process to validate that all
files that should be transfered were transfered and automatically flag the
backup as a partial if there is a discrepancy.

. Then the next backup would have very little to
transfer and may pick up the missing file.

the real difference between an rsync full and incremental in backuppc are
the 3 following
1) a full has rsync ignore matching mtimes and checksum all files while and
incremental trusts matching mtimes
2)backuppc has a different keep/delete schedule for fulls vs incrementals.
3)an incremental backu
not to hijack the thread here but this is not just a valid point, but a very
inteligent point. Picking a specific stable distro and package list allows
a person to maintain all identical setups, document the system and the
configuration, and redeploy identical systems. I run ubuntu 7.04 with

I guess I never thought to say this before but I run 2 local DNS servers. I
have DHCP update DNS so that I can have an acurate local name service and
dont have to rely on nmb or wins.
I find that many network services run significantly faster with this setup.
I also have my remote dhcp servers up
backuppc will even send warning emails for disabled hosts! you must remove
