Re: [BackupPC-users] Problem with backuppc

I am sure there are others that will chime in on this but as I see it you have a few options.

1. Setup LVM and use the external disk as a permanent addition to the system
2. Mount the external disk as the directory that will house your desktops backups

Honestly, I would be wary about using an external USB disk. Alot of them have power saving features that will power it down after a short period and could cause issues with your backups. I would invest in another internal drive or even mount via NFS or iSCSI another drive in a separate machine.

Hello,

We have a server running under debian/sarge with backuppc. All think is right , but my storage space's utilization exceeds now 95% required. Also , we want to back up the pc workstations on an usb extern disk with Backuppc. The problem is how to configure the pc config.file in order to put all the backup data on this external disk. The disks in the server will be used for the backup of the servers only in order to reduce this percentage.
Thanks a lot four your help
