Hello. I have a home LAN backup system, running on Bacula since the very beginning of Bacula.
I have never used Migration/Copy or Archive type jobs, but now planning to go that route. My backup machines is an old Pentium 4 powered HP Compaq with 3 GB RAM and 2 x 800 GB Sata disks in RAID 1 setup. That can currently support only 1 Full and then diffs and incrementals for a month. I would like to keep older data also, as there has been occasions when some system dies and I have not had time to replace it in a month, so there has been NO a single backup to restore from! Currently using CentOS 6 in it, and Bacula 5.2.13. Planning on using Copy jobs, so that the Copy Pool will reside in a second machine, a Raspberry Pi 2 with an 4 TB USB disk. Some ponderings. 1) Why not a Copy, but rather Migrate? Would there be any advantages in that, if the saved disk space is not one? 2) Would it be better to use a separate Storage daemon on the Raspi, instead of just a nfs share? Advantages for the alternatives? It appears that the bacula-fd version on Raspian is 5.2.6. That for starters. Any opinions and suggestions on the matter? -- jarif.bit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
