[Puppet Users] Backing up files and recovering the puppetmaster
Hi all, I am trying to figure out the best way to backup the config files on my puppet master so I can recover it when the VM it''s on dies completely. Is there a recommended way to do this, or a how to someone can point me to? At the moment I am thinking of just rsyncing /var/lib/puppet to a remote host, but I''m not sure if I really need all those files - or if they will actually help me to rebuild my master!

Regarding /var stuff, you could backup certificates, I don''t think anything else is actually that crucial. -- Jakov Sosic www.srce.unizg.hr -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
