Re: [BackupPC-users] Backuppc 4.0 usage

I'm currently using SMB for my Windows hosts, and I'm only backing up C:/Users/* on most systems. I also backup some MSSQL database backup directories on one host, and a Quickbooks folder share on another host. I have found over the years trying to backup all of the Windows file-system just isn't worth it for my purposes.

And for anyone who may be interested, I'm running BackupPC 4.0 as a KVM virtual guest on a Core i5, with 2 of the 4 CPU's, and 8GB of the 16GB of RAM. 4 SATA Disk RAID 10 running the virtual host and guests. Has been working quite well and been plenty fast for my needs.

David,

On your W7 clients, what is your backup method of choice? SMB or rsync or rsyncd?

And what did you use to configure the W7 client? Cygwin? Michael Stowe?

Do you use "junction points" or do you have an extensive "exclude" list?

Or are you primarily backing up your "My Documents" only and not the OS?

I have been using 4.0 on CentOS 7 for about 5 months at my home office. I have 7 hosts being backed-up. About 4 TB pooled / 42 TB prior to pooling and compression. Combination of Linux and Windows hosts.

No issues at this point.
