I suggest /usr/local because the tarsnap cache doesn't need to be on very fast storage, and usually when people have heterogeneous storage they put the fastest (and most expensive) disks on /var. But you can put it anywhere as long as it's reasonably durable. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
