What filesystem should I use? It seems ext4 and reiserfs are the only viable 
options. I just hate the slowness of ext3 for rm -rf hardlink jobs, while xfs 
and btrfs seem to be very unstable.

- How stable is XFS?
- Is reiserfs (much) better at hard-link removal?
- Is reiserfs (much) less stable compared to ext4?

BackupPC seems to recommend reiserfs although many sites say it's still an 
unstable file system that does not have much lifespan left. 

My first back-up has been taking 12 hours for a small server and it's still 
processing... there's only a few gigabytes of data on the Linux machine. There 
should be more than enough power as rsnapshot back-ups always were done in 
quick fashion. Even Bacula was able to do back-ups in less than 10 minutes.

Also, I removed a few backups via the shell script from the wiki... but I still 
see many references to the old test hosts? How can I clean up the entire 
installation? I don't mind removing all data, I just don't want to waste 
back-up space on previously back-upped servers that have been removed.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
