Hi, i've been reading over the documents a bit and reading through the message forum here and im still not fully sure if this is overkill or what im after for this task.
Im looking to do archived backups of external drives attached to a dedicated backup system as projects are completed and wondering if BareOS is the solution I am looking for. We have got various work stations where people work on projects and they are backed up to a external USB on their work station as they work on them on their internal drives at the desktops. When the project is done I want them to be able to hook it up to a back up station with our tape drive and run a backup where the contents of that drive which i assume will always be something like /mnt/externalusb/* for every single drive we put on the system. Every time a straight 1 drive onto 1 tape type backup and than send the tapes off to the warehouse and hopefully never need them again, no incrementals, no job tasks happening weekly*, every time a forced backup of that same mount point to a new tape 100% copy. * I guess the only weekly task would be backing up the database for BareOs. In the case we do need to retrieve something id want them to be able to do a search in a database for their previous projects name and have a tape index number show up so we can request that 1 tape from the warehouse and than restore it back to a new external drive attached to the system. Is Bareos the type of solution im looking for, trying to avoid a bunch of text tar tape listings in a folder and greping the folder? >From what ive read here i'd set it to expire in many years for each tape to >archive them and than later on to do a lookup run bconsole, restore and than 2 >for "List Jobs where a given File is saved" and search for the folder name of >the project to find the tape to request from the warehouse?
