Обсуждение: backup infrastructure
Gidday folks, One way I can contribute my services to the project is in the form of backup services. You tell me what files need to be backed up from what servers, and it'll be done on the frequency required. Restores can be arranged for those that have admin access. We can keep a designated number of backups online, for immediate access. Older backups will be stored offline. Bacula is my tool of choice. Let me know how I can help. -- Dan Langille : Software Developer looking for work my resume: http://www.freebsddiary.org/dan_langille.php

Probably timing, and people probably want to digest the idea a bit. I'd not be detoured. I think it's an excellent idea. It raises issues of availability of restoration and access to things that you may not otherwise have access to though... (No idea if that's actually the case, just pointing out a possibility).

I believe Marc is still in process of moving ... so until he's settled
in, I doubt very much is going to happen. It's an important issue though.

And how much data is it safe to backup? postgresql.org is up to 24G in size, and growing ... :) We're in the process of setting up a full backup to a remote server *just in case*, but that will include *all* files, so that we could fail over as required ... so I'm not sure whether or not there would be a benefit to 'per file backups', but I'm not against it either if others here feel that this would help ... ---- Marc G.

I can just as easily mirror static data as opposed to backing up dynamic data. > We're in the process of setting up a full backup to a remote server *just > in case*, but that will include *all* files, so that we could fail over as > required ... so I'm not sure whether or not there would be a benefit to > 'per file backups', but I'm not against it either if others here feel that > this would help ... Once your current rush subsides, and there is slight pause, let me know. -- Dan Langille : Software Developer looking for work my resume: http://www.freebsddiary.org/dan_langille.php
