Re: [BackupPC-users] Question on using NAS for Pool

It's not hard. Symlink your pool (commonly /var/lib/BackupPC) to your mounted NFS path (or change the TopDir). I did it this way for a few years.

That being said (and with the repeated statements of "storage is cheap"), I never exceeded 3-4 MBps on a backup run. In the end, it was better to slap a large drive into a machine and keep the pool local. Hey, any number of people might've said that.

I searched the archives for using a Synology but haven't found the answer. I have a Synology RS815 that I want to use as my storage unit while running Backuppc on aanother LINUX Server. Since all of the data, logs and config files are in /var/lib/backuppc on the server running backuppc how does on change that to an NFS mount?

Pointers to a how-to for this would be great.

TIA
