Folks -
We are looking for some backup solutions for a Linux based file server.
Up until now we have been burning DVD's, but as the volume of files
grows that is becoming a less manageable solution. In general we are
talking about amounts of up to 20Gb per backed up volume with about half
a
How about the following approach:
1. Full back up to DVD's once per 3-6 months. This will be for archival
purposes.
2. Between those DVD backups, back up to hard disks. From your data you
need to back up about 120GB per full backup (weekly backup).
In 6 months (26 weeks), total backup volume is
How about the old
method of backup tape? Using LTO2 tape, you can backup enough today
(based on your estimation of ~120GB per backup), adn in the future.
It's not cheap, but it does the work.

Hi,
You should check out Bacula (http://www.bacula.org/). You get full,
differential and incremental backups, media management, backups to
files, dvds and tapes, and a database-based automatic managing of

In general we are talking about amounts of up to 20Gb per backed up
volume with about half a dozen volumes.
This is not a significant volume of data.
Ideally we should be able to backup multiple full copies

You are right. I misread the original post. Don't forget that these
120GB will likely only take about 60GB (on average, YMMV, yada yada
yada) of actual space on the backup medium, but I agree that it's a
bigger monthly cost.

Have you backed up today's work?

That's not a single patch, that's a whole on-going development
tree parts of which are included in various kernels. Thanks
Sorry for the interuption, the backup discussion got me thinking.
A long time ago someone on this list was looking for blank DAT tapes.
I offered him some but had no way to get them to Rehovot where he was
and he had no way to get them from Jerusalem where I live.

I agree that 120GB (as opposed to 20GB, as I thought before) suggest a
tape solution. Still, the large up-front cost of the tape drive, coupled
with the cost of each tape, make a hard disk solution seem appealing.

Hi Geoffrey!
It was me looking for the tapes.
I'll send you my reply directly.
