Hello everybody, I'm in the process of developing a regular backup-strategy and found that I need some assistance. Here are the parameters in short: - 35TB of medical imaging data - daily increment of 50-60GB - one site, 10Gb/s Backbone - Overland NEOs LTO7 Storageloader, 8-bay. attached to - dedicated backupserver with 20TB RAID6, will be enhanced as needed
I have already backed up all data on LTO7 tape (WORM, for legal reasons) as of Dec'19. A 2nd generation, also LTO7 WORM, is currently in progress (VERY! slow, ~12MB/s, different story). Tapes are/will be stored offsite. After that I'm planning to do a 3rd generation on disk inhouse and amend the 1st and 2nd gen on tape so that I end up with three generations identical to a certain cutoff date. Then, what to do next? How could a daily routine look like? The radiologists are very concerned about their data and would like to see a daily tape change with the ejected tape being taken offsite in the evening. A 1-bay LTO8 drive could be purchased then, the daily tape change would be done by an apprentice or so... So I thought about an Always-Incremental-B2D2T-strategy starting with the above cutoff day. But I still have too less experience and so I'm struggeling hard to develop a clear structure in my head - WHAT is WHEN being copied WHERE - let alone transform that into a working bareos configuration. Do my thoughts appear reasonable up to that point? BTW: can a daily tape change be realized at all, where you just push the button to eject the TUE-tape, insert the WED-tape, and so on without having to stop the storage-daemon in order to unlock the tape? Thanks for helping me with the first steps to bring this under way. Andreas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
