Currently I am just keeping it on the server. I never set up an NFS server before, so my Cobalt does not support it. But, I would like to FTP it or something eventually. Like I said, it is just a start. If anyone wants to contrib, I will work with you! ~Brian
Look for SSH and rsync in the archives related to backups. That's your safest way to transfer the data securely to another machine/media.
I don't trust the Seagates in these Cobalts and don't like tape backup. I use cheap removable hard drives on a backup server. I run RedHat on a PII 300 with an 80 GB removable hard drive. The machine is cheap and the drives cost me $500.00 to start a full month, weekly rotation with one month backup offsite. Can't beat it!
