I have a debian server at home running 24/7 with a RAID5-solution. Since I don't want to lose any data, I'm looking for a backup configuration that should be working as follows: A second server (which will be called 'backup server' in the following) will be installed so that the main server (that's the other server already running) automatically backups all of its data every two weeks or so (shouldn't be that much of a problem). Additionally I'd like to run the backup server if and only if there is a backup to be made. Obviously it is no problem at all to configure that the backup server wakes up every two weeks - but what should be done thereafter? Should the backup server initiate a backup script and shutdown by itself? Is it possible for the backup server to access all files of the main server without requiring root to enter any passwords (storing a password in a script is obviously no option)? Is that kind of backup a complete nonsensical one? Any helpful suggestions would be really appreciated!
