Backup plan
Hi all, Over the years I have stored all my docs, email, photos on my computer. A few years ago I moved from a single disk to a RAID box and everything has been RAID-5 since. However I then underst...
Hi Stephen,
I didn't realise that, my CP is already working, can I move the default archive now or is it too late? And how do I move the cache as well?
John,
I understand your concern. I am not a massive guru when it comes to Linux but I begun playing with computers when MS-DOS was around so a terminal screen does not scare me. Also, when it comes to Linux I like to quote something I once found on a page where the author said that the procedure would be easy:
The installation worked well for me till I couldn't start the service because CP was using a custom Java install which did not work. I had to browse to find how to amend it. I posted the solution but, again, it's another piece of the puzzled on a long thread.
I like the idea of CP running on my NAS and not on my computer. This way I can leave my NAS permanently on and I know that everything I save on my NAS is being backed up in the background. Also, I can set up the NAS so it can be remoted into.
I agree that we should make a definite guide with all the bits and pieces stranded on those 15 pages of thread. I may be able to help, to say 'thank you' but I will need everybody's help to make sure I am not missing anything. I'll see if I can post something on the other thread.
I have posted a tentative, let me know what you think!

Easy meaning: "easier than tearing your hair out and screaming about how much Linux sucks while running around the room". Not actually easy.
