I have an OpenSolaris snv_105 server at home that holds my photos, docs, music, etc, in a zfs pool. I backup my laptops with rsync to the OpenSolaris server. All of my important data is in one place, on the OpenSolaris server. I want to backup this data. I want to protect against losing my data, and I would also like to recover previous versions of files when I make mistakes.
* I do not have a tape drive, nor do I want to purchase one. * I would like to backup to Amazon's S3 service. I have an account. I did some searching and it seems that instead of creating a bunch of tar files (what I do now), I should create regular zfs snapshots and back those up with Amanda. Does that sound like a viable backup solution? Then, I was thinking about storing those backups on S3. * Has anyone tried this? * Are there any problems I may run into? * Are there better ways backup my zfs pool without purchasing expensive software? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
