I'm looking for comments on Linux system I'm planning to put together -
actually two systems in two cities. The only purpose of these systems is
to replace NT40 systems that only provided file shares.
Disk 1:
- two Linux partitions - one for current install - one for upgrades
- swap partition
- data partition to hold all shares (samba).
Disk 2:
- backup/copy of Disk1
Disk 3:
- archive backup of Disk2 - I've written a script that keeps versions of
files as they change. This disk would have most recent 9 (for example)
versions of any file on Disk2.
Disk 4:
- offsite backup - copy of remote Disk3 (using rsync).
Two sites would be setup. Disk4 of each system would have copy of Disk3
for the other system. I already do Disk2&3 on a Linux system for backup of
NT4 system.
