Hi. I need to backup around 200 TB of data (with many small files) with around 1 TB per week new/changed data. Currently I simply rsync the data to an offsite location using a 100 MBit/s connection.
While searching for solutions for making the rsync faster (because of the many small files an rsync almost never uses the full 100 MBit/s) I stumbled across Bareos. A question I could not find an answer to in the docs is: how does the bareos-fileseamon check for changed data when doing an incremental backup? Does the daemon hold some kind of database or does it check each file against the Bareos server? I'm wondering if a Bareos incremental backup job might be faster than the rsync. Also after looking at the docs I'm considering purchasing a tape loader to backup a specific subset of more valuable data to tape. Is it possible to have incremental backups to disk and do a regular full backup of only a subset of this data to tape? It it possible to get filesystem access to the incremental backed up data on disk or is the Bareos interface the only way to access this data? Thanks!
