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.I used for some time home-made rsync script as Michael does. I still have one or two around, but I can affirm that backuppc is rock solid. The interface allow easy recovery of few files or a whole directory. You can use some command line to use this backup to create a tgz file to migrate a server from version to version using the smeserver base restoration. Plus it can optimize the space used by the backup trough different set of backup. If you backup multiple server with similar files. It is pretty modular, so you can do full or incremental backup at your will.

This has been running on my SME servers 8 and 9 for the last 7 years, taking backups to an nfs share on a QNAP device. It just runs, if you want details, I'd have to make myself familiar with it again :- )ortecin GmbH Postfach, Waffenplatzstrasse 40, 8002 Zuerich mobile: +41 79 689 1052, phone: +41 44 280 2828 |
