I'm playing with our little home network, migrating some more functionality from windows to linux.
I want to backup files from a couple of machines onto an area on my main linux box and I'm interested in opinions on best custom and practice.
1. Is it advisable to have a separate partition for the file-store area or is a separate partition sufficient?
2. Where should it be in the directory tree on the 'server' - as a subdirectory of /home or as a separate directory under / or elsewhere?
3. Are there any standard conventions for this?
TIA Syd
