Hello,
I built a BackupPC server with good older hardware and installed two WD RED
3 TB drives and used LVM to make them one big ~6 TB volume for backupPC.
The system boots from a separate disk BTW. I am backing up teacher and
student files for a small school district. The total backup before pooling
and compression is around 800GB. My pool size is around 1TB with a months
worth of daily incremental and full backups on Fridays. I did not realize
when I built the server how amazingly efficiently BackupPC stores the
backups. I did not anticipate being able to keep so many backups!
Is there any reason not to just increase the full and incremental keep
count to a something like the whole school year? Another though is to keep
the fulls and incremental for maybe 3 months then let the incremental go
and just keep the weekly fulls? So that's the question, if I have plenty of
space is there any reason not to just keep a ton of backups?
Thank you!
David Nelson
