Hello all,
Long time since I've posted something. I'm curious what others are using to backup their servers. I know we offer backup to tape (flexbackup) and backup to workstation (dar) in the product today. I've personally been using tape, as it's been very, very reliable for the amount of data I've been backing up, but I now will have a need to backup ~500GB, and possibly more over time. Using tape isn't going to work as the backup window is too short for that to complete. I also don't want to just totally rely on a raid 5 system. I haven't done much with Raid 6, but that's pretty much burning 2 drives for the parity stuff.
I see others are using backup to workstation, but I've also seen what appears to be some major periodic issues, like losing the catalog, and not being able to restore being the major one that would cause some issues.
I'm getting ready to try to do some testing of my own, but I would appreciate others sharing their experiences, both good and bad, and specific add-on products, if not using the default ones. I had been trying to get Amanda to work, but my day job is pretty much taking up all of my time, so I'm not able to spend any good time on it.
Thank you, John _______________________________________________ Discussion about project organisation and overall direction To unsubscribe, e-mail [email protected] Searchable archive at https://lists.contribs.org/mailman/public/discussion/
