Originally, I tried to set-up a FREENAS box, but concluded there is a problem with the OS/app in regards to LAN I/O on MY machine setup so, I went hunting and found backuppc. LOL - I've tried for 2 weeks and got.... Nowhere. I want to setup a box I have using EVMS and backuppc in kubuntu. I have 4 drives: 1-40 (for OS and APPS), 1-80 for FAT32, 1-300 and 1-250 that I want to set up ReiserFS and using EVMS to combine them to a single mountpoint which will then be used by backuppc. Quite frustrating since I KNOW the concepts I am missing ARE in fact quite simple. The linux environment is still new to me. Still plugn' der.hans wrote: > Am 05.
