Re: [BackupPC-users] Recommended partitioning for BackupPC on Ubuntu server?

[dan <dan...@gm...>]

the default $TopDIR on ubuntu and debian is /var/lib/backuppc but is also in
/etc/backuppc/config.pl

LVM works fine on top of RAID5.

hard to suggest a partitioning scheme without knowing the # of drives and
their sizes.

i had a machine that i run backuppc on that had a 4Gb flash drive for
/(partition1) and /boot(partition0) and 3 120Gb drives on raid5(software) as
/data and I put /var and /home on the /data/var and /data/home and mounted
them to /var and /home with 'mount -o bind' as well as /data/backuppc
mounted via 'mount -o bind' to /var/lib/backuppc

i dont run that machine anymore as a backuppc server as i have moved to
better hardware but that worked great, considering its only job was backup i
did not need anything more.
