Currently our backuppc server is a Xen pv domU running Ubuntu 10.04.
It has served us well over the past two years. However it is time to
move it out of the virtual environment and back onto physical
hardware. This is only so that it can be located on the far edge of
our campus as far away from the physical servers it backs up as
possible while still keeping it on the fiber network. So with that we
are looking to install a fresh OS on the new hardware. We could stay
with Ubuntu and just load 12.04. Most of our other servers are Centos
or Fedora. Is there one distribution that is better than the other for
backuppc? I will be moving the /var/lib/backuppc pool (it is on it's
own lv) to the new machine. Should I expect any problems with this?

Thanks in advance for any and all input.

Donny B.
