I'd like to hear of anyones experiences with a setup like the one I'll |
2 |
describe in a moment. I haven't worked with this extensively yet but |
3 |
a tentative plan looks like this: |
4 |
|
5 |
Three or more windows XP boxes that are devoted primarily to editing |
6 |
video or graphics in one way or another. The stuff needing backup can |
7 |
be in really big files but also lots of normal sized still images etc. |
8 |
|
9 |
I'm planning to use rsnapshot/rsync to back up the NTFS windows disks |
10 |
to a gentoo box with internal discs with the needed capacity. |
11 |
|
12 |
I guess what I'd like to hear about is any known problems with mixing |
13 |
filesystems like that. It will all be run over cifs from linux and the |
14 |
windows boxes will browse for stuff when needed over smb to the linux |
15 |
files . |
16 |
|
17 |
I haven't noticed any show stoppers in my small experiments but wonder |
18 |
how they will scale up. |
19 |
|
20 |
I'm thinking of graduating to somekind of external network storage |
21 |
with a raid setup and really huge capacity, but again I'd like to have |
22 |
the server end be gentoo and rsnapshot/rsync. |
23 |
|
24 |
Other schemes are welcome. |
