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,
I've been using BackupPC for more than 10 years now. Never failed,
rock solid. I monitor it using some auto-discovery Zabbix scripts,
to be sure backups are always running, plus monthly manual checks. I
really recommend it.

I'm liking this method. I see that there used to be a contrib for
this for SME7, do you have anything more recent that you'd be willing
to share?
Thank you,
John
