something I need to do regularly.
So some new tools that combine multi-core speed up with compression.

Nice, thanks!
Yep - I've not used pigz, but be advised that pbzip2 does not produce
the same file as bzip2 with the same options.
Functionally they're the same and can be treated as such, but a parallel
bzipped file is a few bytes larger and has multiple index/lookup
tables of one per core/thread.
There is a faster tar. It's called star.
It's written by the same guy who did cdrecord, so it is, umm, how to

You need to rate your data's importance too.
Server 1 - file/etc
2x200 GB drives in a RAID1 for my important stuff
1TB for exported myth recordings (long term storage)
200 GB system drive
Server 2 - mythtv and backups
500 GB for myth live recordings (expires over time)
250GB for backups
40GB

I was in 2 minds
A curse on top posters!
I sort of disagree with this... haven't seen 200GB disks for ages
anywhere!
1TB disks are under $150 each now. I go for simplicity rather than
saving the odd $50 and mirror the server - which is raid 10 - using a
remote raid 5 box, and a cheap WD green 5 port gigabyte
