Asunto: [CentOS-es] Problemas para clonar disco

Hola amigos,

Tengo un servidor basado en CentOS 4.5, con una distribución de 
particiones estándar:
/dev/hda1/boot
/dev/hda2VolGroup00
-LogVol00/
-LogVol01swap
El disco duro tiene sectores defectuosos y, aunque el sistema arranca y 
funciona sin muchos problemas, lo quiero cambiar lo antes posible.
He intentado clonarlo con G4U y aunque aparentemente se clona sin mayor 
problema, no funciona. También he probado con Norton Ghost y otras 
utilidades sin mejores resultados. ¿Cual es vuestra recomendación? ¿Cual 
seria la forma más adecuada de sustituir el disco en una situación como 
esta?

Muchas gracias,
David

[CentOS-es] SAMBA + Antivirus

2008-02-05 Thread Rtec
Hola a toda la lista!!!

 

Tengo diversos servidores funcionando con SAMBA, y me gustaría montar algún
antivirus que controlará los archivos con los que trabajan los usuarios.

 

Este antivirus me gustaría tenerlo en el servidor ( CentOS v5) pero también
que fuera capaz de detectar algún virus para otro OS, ya que los usuarios
siguen trabajando con XP SP2.

 

Si alguien conoce algún HOWTO o manual o url, me sería de gran ayuda, muchas
gracias!!!

Hola Ricardo
Acronis soporta LVM? El mayor problema lo tengo con las sistemas de
archivo dentro del LVM. La particin boot la recostruyo sin problemas y
vuelvo a instalar grub sin problemas (arrancando con el cd de
instalacin en modo "rescue") En cualquier caso, lo que si probar esta
tarde es G4L, que buscando ms informacin sobre G4U lo vi y pareca
interesante (parece soportar LVM)

Muchas gracias y un saludo,

1) En lo que se trata a compilar fuentes, NUNCA omitas líneas intermedias,
los propios nombres de los fuentes pueden servir para indicarte el fallo.

2) ¿Tienes instalados los paquetes kernel-headers y kernel-devel? Si no es
así, instálalos y prueba a compilar de nuevo.

[CentOS] Creating a Roaming imap account

2008-02-05 Thread Anne Wilson
This (CentOS5.1) box is my new imap server.  Using 
system-config-security-level I opened port 143 tcp, and mail is readable 
throughout the LAN.  I want a Roaming account on my laptop so that I can read 
mail while away from home.  I have set up the account in kmail, and I know 
that that part is correct, as it worked on my old, less-secured, imap server.  
However, I haven't been able so far to make a connection.

Do I need 143 udp open?  What else must I do to allow me to connect over WAN?

However, I AM running CentOS-5. Infact, when I did #rpm -q kernel,

[CentOS] Strange gpg problem

2008-02-05 Thread Anne Wilson
When I read a message signed by a gpg key that is not already on my keyring I 
have runaway cpu usage.  To end it I have to 'killall gpg' - at which the 
display returns, but of course it has not connected with the keyserver, so 
the key is not downloaded and I get a 'signature not verified' error 
message..  What's more, although the display has returned, I have to 'killall 
gpg' a second time, to return cpu usage to normal.

I'm at a loss where to start troubleshooting this.  Could it be a firewall 
problem?

 Dear Tru, Thank you for your mail. I didn't change anything at all. It
 is just the default installation.
The person who installed it for you lied.

 However, I AM running CentOS-5. Infact, when I did #rpm -q kernel,
 it didnt give me any result. I didn't went into details of it assuming
 that there may be something missing at the trailing end i.e.
 kernel-version-no in my command.

That what you should have for a current CentOS-5 x86_64 machine.
There is no kernel 2.6.23 from CentOS.

try to install the default kernel with:
# yum install kernel

And report any error once you have rebooted with the CentOS kernel.
 
 Anyway, I would appreciate if you can help me to get my problem solved.

There is no support for non CentOS kernel, sorry.

Re: [CentOS] system gets suspended automatically!

2008-02-05 Thread Chandra
Sorry for not writing very clearly. here are the details:

$ kernel -qa|grep kernel
kernel-PAE-2.6.18-53.el5

$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-53.el5PAE #1 SMP Mon Nov 12
02:55:09 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

$ rpm -q centos-release
centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1

Also, I checked that if I reboot the system without any external
attachment (i.e. no mouse, no keyboard, no monitor) and attach these
elements later, none of these are recognized. What I want is just a
network connected CPU to run the program. That's all. I can control
the program running on it using ssh from another machine. I would like
to add one more thing is this: when I log into a gui-session (gnome),
and run my program on a terminal there, it lasts for 1-2 days before
suspension. However, if I log into console-mode (no gui), it lasts
only for 4-5 hours before suspension. I again think it is entirely a
kernel problem. Would recompiling the kernel with some specific
options help?

Thanks for allocating your time!!

Re: [CentOS] system gets suspended automatically!

2008-02-05 Thread Richard Karhuse
I'll let others work with you on the kernel version 
(which we'll assume is OK and a true CentOS install).

I would put up a console on the local KVM port to
capture the last set of messages before the system
hangs -- which might help isolate the problem.

From what we've seen so far, it sounds like you might
have a hardware problem.  The things that I would
check are:

  -  power supply (aka losing voltage)
  -  all the system fans (aka thermal shutdown)
  -  memory (run memtest86+ overnight [or longer])


If not that (and still a hardware problem), it is a lot more
subtle and will be fun to diagnose 

Hope this helps (a little) ...

Thanks for your reply.

At first, I rule out any fluctuation in power-supply.

As far as thermal shutdown is concerned, I don't know how to know if it is the 
case. However, it is a brand new PC and so, I hope it should be working. But 
I will check it out properly.

memtest86+: I will run it overnight.

 While my Centos machines are all running 32-bit at the moment, I have Fedora
 8/x86_64 on my main desktop computer (this one) and there is a noticeable
 speed increase when scrolling a large Scribus document, compared to when I had
 Fedora 7/i386 on this same computer.

I have had the same experience.  Until I looked for the presence of a 64
bit machine I installed a 32 bit os on everything.  I found the sales
descriptors of computer stores unreliable as to what was 32 bit and what
was 64 bit.  If cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep  lm  truly identifies 64 bit
machines we had some 64 bit CPU's that were not identified.  

I experimented a little to see if putting a 64 os on these would improve
desktop responsiveness and my gross perception was that there was an
improvement.  Most of the time these desktop units had less than 2 gigs
of RAM.  However, I may have been seduced by positive expectations.
Does anyone know of a way to really determine if this is significant.  

I recently installed CentOS-5.0-i386 for a mail server that was supposed
to be 32 bit, but when I checked it after the install I found it was 64
bit.  I decided to take the time to reinstall CentOS-5.0-x86_64.  This
machine came Vista and was sold to us from Fry's as a 32 bit refurbished
Compaq.  

So being able to tell what is a 32 and 64 cpu and whether running a 32
bit or 64 bit os on a small mail server is worth while might be
helpful.  

Any thoughts?

I am not sure what type of cluster you are going to be doing  HA or HPC but
I just wanted to make sure that if you are looking at it for HPC that you
saw the dell sc1435.  When we were pricing 1U cluster nodes recently they
gave the best bang for the buck.  We were looking for raw CPU power and lots
of ram and were not worries about the server grade stuff like raid,
redundant power supplies, or remote administration like iLO or DRAC.  When
we compared prices with the other major companies as well as a number of
linux cluster providers and a few whitebox builders they came in cheaper.
In addition the next business day replacement parts are pretty nice.

So far we have been happy with them.

That is an old assumption from the infancy of software raid, less than optimal 
  installed ram, and slower processors. When ram was expensive, you used more 
swap because it was cheaper. But ram is so much cheaper now that it make no 
sense to run a machine that needs to touch swap except in an emergency.
  
Not really a valid assumption about install enough memory and swap won't 
get used. *nixes have a design feature that swaps out programs that 
aren't used just in case the some other program needs the space. Sun 
workstations back in the '80s and '90s used to be the worst at this. It 
was faster to shutdown at night and restart in the morning since leaving 
the system up all night would result in most everything getting swapped 
out to disk just in case the space would be needed. Try to use the 
system in the morning and it would be busy swapping everything back into 
RAM for quite a while.


So with 2GB of RAM on my desktop, I still see 144K of swap getting used 
with me generating very little activity as I read my e-mail. If my swap 
went away, I would have a problem if Linux tried to swap back in 
whatever that 144k of program is. Better to have swap on a RAID volume.

Hello!

I am running CentOS-5 with latest kernel available by deault (2.6.23).
I installed it on a Dell XPS machine having Intel Quad processors (4
parallel cpus). I use it to run a computational program and I need to
keep the program running for 1-2 months continuously. I generally boot
it in runlevel-3 with network ON without X and use ssh from another
machine to connect and run the program using the nohup utility.

However, the system automatically gets suspended (the computational
program stops, ssh stops working, whole the OS seems to be freezing)
after 4-5 hours. I have stopped the acpid daemon and boot the kernel
with acpi=off option in grub.conf but no help. The kernel log (
/var/log/messages) doesn't show anything special. After the instant of
suspension, kernel also stops logging into /var/log/messages.

Please help me out. I think there is a kernel problem. I have run
programs for days and days continuously using FC5 (which had older
kernel). I can't use FC5 or older version of CentOS because I need
GCC-4.1.2+ to compile parallel OpenMP program.

Thank you,

[CentOS] Removing a disc from a software mirror

2008-02-05 Thread Joseph L. Casale
If I needed to remove a disc from a software mirror for a quick backup before a 
test, how can I remove it cleanly so that it has a good copy of the OS on it? 
If I use mdadm to fail then remove it, this would be done while CentOS is 
running (It's a mirror of the system disc) and I suspect the data on it would 
not be in a clean state?

Is there a way to say have it not involved in the mirror after the next boot

 A more targeted approach: run ldd a.out and see what 32-bit

I should have also said that you need to install the 32-bit versions
of libraries separately. The base CentOS install may have some 32-bit

specify the i386 version to yum.

 OS on it? If I use mdadm to fail then remove it, this would be done while
 CentOS is running (It's a mirror of the system disc) and I suspect the data
 on it would not be in a clean state?

Don't fail the disk, just remove it physicaly or in the BIOS, that
way it will be clean.

Then if your test is successful, your disk will be re-syncronized as
soon as you put it back.

If your test fail you need to make your saved disk the good one.
I things md choose the disk with the last time stamp as the master
to replicate on the second one.
Then boot on the saved one, before to reboot and sync both.

You could also try to change the partition system ID of your
partition(s) to something else than 8e, using fdisk.

will update the time stamp, and then will make the new



 Is there a way to say have it not involved in the mirror after the next boot

The LOG target lets you display the user id of the process I believe,
but not the PID.  There might be some iptables extensions out there
that would do what you're looking for.  Don't know them off the top of
my head however.

Alternately, perhaps you could use SELinux for this?  I know its audit
logs would give you the level of detail you're looking for, but getting
the policy written for it might be challenging.

You should have port 993 open which provides security via SSL.
One can use TLS to initiate connections via port 143, but this
may result in unencrypted logins which result in your username
and password being sent in clear text across the Internet.

You will also have to make provisions to allow mail relaying from
the roaming IP for the duration of the authenticated connection
(assuming that your mail server is not an open relay which will
get it black listed pretty quickly).  There are various ways to
handle this.  We have used WHOSON for years which doesn't require
any action on the part of the IMAP client.  One can also use SMTP
AUTH, POP/IMAP before SMTP, or other methods.

It would probably be easier to set up OpenVPN so you can tunnel
from the remote systems into your private network, then connect
via the private IP address for IMAP and SMTP sending.  Once one
has generated the proper keys for the OpenVPN connections, it is
easy to make the connections (and easy to revoke them as well).
There are OpenVPN clients for the Microsoft virus, Windows, OS X,
and every version of Unix I've used.

[CentOS] Enterprise-class monitoring system for CentOS and Win2k3 server

2008-02-05 Thread Sean Carolan
Can anyone recommend an enterprise-class monitoring system for both
Linux and Windows servers?  Here are my requirements:

SNMP trap collection, ability to import custom MIBs
isup/isdown monitoring of ports and daemons
Server health monitors (CPU, Disk, Memory, etc)
SLA reporting with nice graphs
Pager/Email/SMS alerts with groups, filters and escalations
Built-in MTBF and MTTR reporting
Robust parent-child relationships between monitors or probes.  For
example, the system must be smart enough to know that if 25 URLs have
gone down all at once, that they belong to an apache process that has
died.  I don't want 25 alerts, I want *one* alert telling me that the
parent apache daemon is down.
Ability to easily create dashboards from various monitors.  We want
this so we can see all components of a website in one place, eg,
apache URL, database server, disk storage, etc.
Attractive, easy to use GUI.  We don't want a homebrew project with

 Hi Anne,

 is your firewall setup with the appropriate NAT/port forwarding and how
 about DNS ?

The firewall in the router is correctly set up.  I'm not so sure about the 
software firewall.  I'm tempted to turn it off completely until I'm sure 
everything works correctly, then try to bring it back in.  At least that way 
I'd be sure I was tackling one problem at a time.

DNS - local dns is by means of /etc/hosts.  The same setup worked perfectly, 
without any additional configuration, on  the old server which had no 
software firewall, depending entirely on the router firewall.

FD is the 'raid autodetect' type.  Setting the drive you don't want to

2008-02-05 Thread Joseph L. Casale
I'm not sure if this is a timestamp or a count of clean shutdowns.  Does
anyone know?

Well, the setup wasn't mission critical or I would have imaged it out safely so 
I proceeded to shutdown the machine and unplug the secondary drive. I then 
booted and saw the array obviously had a missing component. I did my 
reconfiguration and it was good. I shutdown, plugged the secondary back in and 
then booted. The arrays didn't automatically re-establish the pair(?), so I # 
mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sdb1 and # mdadm /dev/md1 -a /dev/sdb2 as md0 is the 
/boot partition and md1 is the LVM pv that holds swap and /. It all went well 
as I had # watch -n1 'cat /proc/mdstat' running.

Not as slick as the higher end machines with hardware raid and hot swappable 
back planes but it saved me either waiting for a painfully slow dd of the disc 
or a re-install if what I did failed.

Hi

I recently installed some hba's into a bunch of these 585's as they are 
forming a RAC cluster - previously to this they were all using DAS 
without issue.


After the qlogic cards were installed i reinstalled the OS and now once 
installed the OS will not boot - the box just reboots continuously, it 
does not even appear to get to grud, although this could be the ilo not 
displaying correctly.


I have installed the OS onto the internal RAID set as usual and the MBA 
gets put onto this internal RAID disk also, the internal disks are just 
laid out in a /boot and a /


Does anyone know what the issue could be or how i could disable these 
hba's during the install process so that they are not recognised?

un-export the volumes from the array to the host so the HBAs don't

without asking which ethernet interface.

PXE begins the install with DHCP, so Kickstart should already know which of
eth0, eth1, etc. to use.

Here is the ethernet line in the ks.cfg file:

network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp

Any ideas appreciated.

On the boot line (i.e. where you'd put ks=http://), add DEVICE=ethX
where X=interfaceNumber.  We've also noticed that adding noipv6 speeds
up some network auto-detection stuff too.

yeah, it can be a bit daunting at first, but the below info is right.  
also consider down the road if you are using PXE/DHCP that there can be

[CentOS] startx and numerous vlan's.

2008-02-05 Thread Milton Calnek

Hello all,

I have something strange... And I'm not sure this is the best form... so 
suggest another if you prefer.


I have a CentOS (and a Fedora) box with 100+ vlan's.
When I boot to run level 3 and startx, X gives a stack trace, pauses for 
a few seconds and I can use my computer again.


I can have 84 vlans and from run level 3, startx. 85 or more and I 
cannot startx.  Assuming that it has something to do with the number of 
interfaces, there are 2 nics, 1 lo and the vlans.


I can have all vlans on and boot to run level 5 successfully.

Obviously I have a work around for this, so this is mostly a curiosity 
thing.


Any thoughts?

This may not be what you're lookin for, but...

If it's the order of devices giving you a problem, you can also try the
latefcload boot option so your internal disks show up first.
There also the ignoredisk option in the kickstart (ie: ignoredisk
--drives=sdb,sdc)

[CentOS] xloadimage in centos 5.1

2008-02-05 Thread Jerry Geis

I have noticed that xloadimage rpm is not in centos 5.1

I use the command xview -identity to get the size of gifs, jpgs, and pngs.
xview is part of the xloadimage package.

The command file filename also reports sizes for gifs and pngs BUT not 
for jpgs.


Is there an alternative command to use to report gif jpg and png sizes?

I thought about just getting an older xloadimage package and that works
but I want to do it the right way...

[CentOS] Trouble Ticket System

2008-02-05 Thread Jun Salen
Hi,

Last year, I tried to installed and evaluate the following OSS web base trouble 
ticketing system. This is for me to track history on our IT related issues. 
Those that I tried are the PHP Ticket, DanPHPSupport, Epix Power Support, 
ruQueue, Ticket Express, OTRS, PMOS Help Desk and eTicket. From those, PMOS and 
eTicket are my top picks. I have problem installing OTRS the last time, so I am 
unable to evaluate that but will try later. The problem with PMOS is that the 
developer want to give up the project last time I checked. Aside from the 
mentioned above, can you suggest others that are better. Any advice from other 
experiences please. Thank you very much.

if there are python xml processing tools/packages that
can turn an XML file directly into a complex

I've processed XML files with Java but now I am in a
rush.

--device=

Used to select a specific Ethernet device for installation.

Note that using --device= will not be effective unless the kickstart 
file is a local file (such as ks=floppy), since the installation program 
will configure the network to find the kickstart file. For example:


network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0

FlySpray is a 'bug tracking system' intended for software development, 
but quite ammendable to being used as a trouble ticket system. web 
based, written in php, and uses a postgres or mysql database.   email 
and/or jabber notifications.  tasks/tickets can be assigned and 
reassigned, and keep a detailed history.   http://flyspray.org/


you could use its 'categories' field to enumerate your systems and 
software that you're dealing with.  Categories can have nested 
subcategories which are specific to them (for instance, standard request 
ticket types).   (sub)categories can have owners who get the default 
notifications.

RT rox - it too difficult to setup. A tiny learning curve, but for the
money (free beer) it's the best I seen. 

Another it OTRS (of course it's mentioned however, there are tons of
whistles and bells (overkill for most IT needs) and if you don't need
them, then RT is by far the best.

[CentOS] strategy/technology to backup 20TB or more user's data

2008-02-05 Thread ankush grover
Hi Friends,


I am currently using Samba on Centos 4.4 as a domain member of AD 2003
with each user having a quota of 2GB(no of users is around 2,000). Now
the management wants to increase the quota to 10GB with this there
will be more than 20TB of data to be backup weekly which will take
lots of hours. Currently Veritas backup software is used to backup
data on tapes.

There is a concept of snapshots of Samba with LVM where snapshots of
samba are taken at the given interval but so far haven't found any
good article or how-to on that and also what is the experience of

[CentOS] yum upgrade php dependency failure

2008-02-05 Thread Ed Morrison

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade php to version 5.   When running yum upgrade I 
get this failure:


-- Running transaction check
-- Processing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.9 for package: php-pear
-- Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.22.9 is needed by package php-pear

but the required php version is installed:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -q php
php-4.3.9-3.22.9


Any suggestions on what is wrong and how to fix this?

Thanks!

Re: [CentOS] strategy/technology to backup 20TB or more user's data

 There is a concept of snapshots of Samba with LVM where snapshots of

Save yourself a bunch of trouble and buy a real storage system,
if you have 20TB of data that's a serious amount of stuff to
back up. Network Appliance is pretty popular in that space. I've
been using 3PAR for my storage and really like it's built in
virtualization. Dell recently purchase Equallogic which looks to
have some solid technology as well. I attended a little event
where they pitched their pooled storage iSCSI system. Looked
pretty cool.

With these sorts of system snapshotting is really easy and scalable.
In the 3PAR world for example(not sure who else might have this
ability), they have thin copy on write technology. So say you
take a snapshot of a volume once a day for 30 days. In a traditional
snapshot environment, you use a lot of space on the array as it
keeps track of (up to) 30 different snapshots and the changes
from the original volume. In the 3PAR world it only writes the
changes once for the source volume. So if you change 10GB of
data on the base volume and you have 20 snapshots, only 10GB
of data is written as changed to the array, not 20*10GB.

I also love the ability to snapshot multiple volumes from
multiple systems at the same time, and the array ensures
they are all taken at the same instant.

Add on top of that the most advanced thin provisioning (dedicate
on write) technology around, the ability to dynamically grow
the array, change RAID levels on the fly with no downtime,
etc, and you got yourself a nice system :)

I'd personally steer clear of any of the old fashioned arrays
(e.g. traditional EMC, HDS, IBM, though some of them are getting
thin provisioning as well).

I can only speak with personal experience in 3PAR, but I
believe NetApp and it looks like Equallogic are very similar
in ease of use. No need to be a storage engineer or have
fancy training to use them. No spending days/weeks planning
the layout of your storage system.

With my storage array currently I have 8.5TB raw space,
am using about 6TB, but my servers think I have nearly
30TB. As I get closer to 8TB I can add more space on
the fly, re-balance the I/O for maximum performance
and continue to grow as-needed.

Hi,

The error says the php 4.3.9-3.22.9 is needed by the package php-pear.

yum remove php-pear and then try to upgrade php.

Re: [CentOS] python XML processing to turn a XML file into a structure?

Hi,

 I'm running Centos 5 with python 2.4.3. Anyone know
if there are python xml processing tools/packages that
can turn an XML file directly into a complex

I'm a newbie to Python programming, though years ago
I've processed XML files with Java but now I am in a
rush. 

First check the python library reference:

http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html

There are various tools there that may provide what you need.

[CentOS] Discrepancy between df and quota commands

2008-02-05 Thread Balaji

Hi All,

There is some discrepancy between what quota reports and what du reports

-bash-3.00$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 4.4 (Final)

-bash-3.00$ pwd
/home/corview

-bash-3.00$ df .
Filesystem   1K-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol01
 10095152586932   8995404   7% /home

-bash-3.00$ du -sh .
19M .

-bash-3.00$ quota
Disk quotas for user corview (uid 934):
Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota
limit   grace
/dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol01
968480* 90 100none 268   0   0


As shown above du says only 19MB is occupied by user corview( No big
files of corview are present in /tmp/ or /var/ )
But quota says 968480 out of  100   is used.



-bash-3.00$ id
uid=934(corview) gid=934(corview) groups=19(floppy),934(corview),935(admin)
-bash-3.00$ grep 934 /etc/passwd
corview:x:934:934::/home/corview:/bin/bash
nbiperf:x:946:934::/home/nbiperf:/bin/bash
nbibill:x:947:934::/home/nbibill:/bin/bash
rilbill:x:948:934::/home/rilbill:/bin/bash

So, no other user with id 934. and data in other users who are in
corview group is also very small.

lsof hasnt revealed any thing.

How do I know which file(s) is(are) eatig so much.?

I found a peculiar problem
-bash-3.00$ pwd
/home/corview
-bash-3.00$ ls -l

As we see some files show up twice in find.
For e.g, jta25b.jar is shown in line 50 (actual place) and in line 38
(bogus)

-bash-3.00$ pwd
/home/corview
-bash-3.00$ find . -name jta25b.jar
./ricEMS/corView/resource/config/Profile/WorkingDirectory/jta25b.jar
-bash-3.00$

How is this?

Re: [CentOS] strategy/technology to backup 20TB or more user's data

 Hi Friends,


 I am currently using Samba on Centos 4.4 as a domain member of AD 2003
 with each user having a quota of 2GB(no of users is around 2,000). Now

This mean you can run several smaller filesystem and (among other things) run 
backups in parallell.

 the management wants to increase the quota to 10GB with this there
 will be more than 20TB of data to be backup weekly which will take
 lots of hours. Currently Veritas backup software is used to backup
 data on tapes.

I think you'll want a backup-software that does fully incremental backups. 
That is. We use IBM-TSM for this and I'm quite sure it would easily backup, 
say, 4x 5TB (assuming four nice filesystems on decent hardware). ...of course 
this depends on how much your users modify their data each day.

A 2nd alternative is to don't do traditional backups at all. Go either 
multiple replicas (probably not what you want) or a storage system that can 
do cheap snapshots and keep a weeks worth of daily snapshots alive.

Good luck,
 Peter
