Nevertheless, Southern_Gentlem; of #fedora (irc://freenode.net/) suggested to use /srv since he uses it and Red Hat uses it.

Revision as of 00:42, 28 January 2010

Where should backups be stored?

After checking the FHS, there's a bit of confusion about this issue. There are 3 possible locations: /srv, /var/backups and /var/spool/backups.

I have decided to put them in /var/backups since it's mentioned in the FHS and it's relevant to me.

Nevertheless, Southern_Gentlem; of irc://freenode.net/#fedora suggested to use /srv since he uses it and Red Hat uses it.
