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.
Anyway, please, feel free to discuss this here. Renich 00:41, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
