Hi all
I've a backup scenario I'm wanting to implement with bacula, but need
some advice about whether this is a correct, stable approach.
The scenario is this: our office want an off-site backup, preferably
using bacula as we're used to it. Due to the slow nature of our office's
ADSL link, we want to do this:
1. We set up a box with a RAID5 array to store backed-up data
2. Do one full backup of all of our data (about 1TB) before taking
the machine off-site
3. Do monthly full backups of the data, with daily differential
backups (rather than incremental) to make restoration reasonably quick
(daily backups amount to ~50MB max)
Having talked to someone on the #bacula IRC channel, they've suggested
we start with a Base backup type, so my strategy would be this:
1. Create a Base backup with the machine on-site
2. Configure monthly Full backups based on the base, to run off-site
3. Configure daily differentials as per normal
4. Set up bacula-fd to encrypt all data submitted as per
instructions online
5. Set up SSH tunnels into the office to run bacula over
Does this sound reasonably sensible?
Thanks,
Justin
