Hi All.
We're looking at using amanda for a virtual tape library.
We have two sites, and four SANs. here's a basic outline:
Site A
=====
ProductionA SAN (5TB)
"Backup of ProductionB" SAN (27TB)
Site B
=====
ProductionB SAN (10TB)
"Backup of ProductionA" SAN (17TB)
As per the above, we want to backup our data offsite. Looking for some
thoughts on how we should implement this. Some best practices, some
gotchas, etc would be great.
Some initial questions are, where should we place our amanda backup
servers. We're thinking we need one for each site, but is it better to
have the amanda server local to the data it's backing and have the LUN
for the backups remote OR, have amanda server remote to the data and
have the LUN for the backups local.
Would greatly appreciate any thoughts and info all you amanda experts
have :)
Matt.
