What filesystem should I use?

Because we hash directory and package paths, no more than 30,000 directories will ever exist inside of packagecloud_rails['fs_root'], making it safe to use ext3 with a large amount of packages. But, feel free to use whichever you prefer.

NFS should also work, but has not been tested as of writing.

How do I take backups?

While the automatic, built-in Backups does not cover repository storage at this time, you can use any external backup solution you wish. We recommend using LVM Snapshots or EBS (if available).
