[Burp-users] Backup to USB dick

[alessandro <al...@br...>]

Hi all.

I have tested burp since sometime now, and it seems pretty stable, especially appreciate the VSS support for windows guests.

In some situations I'd need to save the backups to USB disks during night, and let the user change the USB disk when it requires it (ususally once a week).

Right now I simply use rsnapshot with a mount and umount command before the launch at a certain time.

Though having burp a server (with a repository directory) I'm not sure this can be done, and how.

Probably I would need to force the backup from the server so to be sure that the USB disk has been mounted and once all the clients have been backed up umount it.

Any suggestion on how to set this up would be appreciated.

Is there a preferred/optimized FS for the backups (EXT4, XFS, ZFS) ? 
Also would there be any problems in using a NFS storage for backups (thinknig about a NAS)

Thanks,
Alessandro
