Hey everyone....
I have a full week's backup of all my servers, i want to make an immutable copy of
them, so I was thinking of just "moving" the current data dir, and whatever else I
might need to another partition, and start the backup from scratch again.
Mean while i make the dir on that new partition immutable.
I want to do that every 6 months...
Suggestions?
On my BackupPC server, the partition containing the backups is in a 3-way mirror with
one of the drives in a hot-swap enclosure. Once a month, I remove the third drive,
replace it with a new one, and re-sync the mirrors. This drive then goes to an
off-site location for storage. As a bonus, that drive also contains the OS, so if I
need to restore from a backup on an old drive, I can stick it in just about any PC,
boot it up, and have a running BackupPC instance to restore from.
I use a 3-way mirror so that I still have redundancy even after pulling the
drive.
