I am setting up a new backuppc server. Are there any advantages to using an external drive (USB or eSATA) over an internal drive to store the backups? The server is an older Pentium 3 500 MHz box running Debian Linux. I plan on using ssh/rsync to do the backups for other Linux boxes, a Windows box, and a Mac.

If I use an external drive, can I move the drive to another backuppc server and access the files? Do I have to insure the backuppc on the new server has the identical configuration as the old server?

Thanks!

Mark
