similar to: Rsync and differential Backups

Folks I have been using rsnapshot for years now. The only problem I've found is that it is possible to run out of inodes. So my heads-up is that when you create the file system, ensure you have more than the default inodes - I usually multiply the default by 10. Otherwise you can find your 1Tb USB drive failing after 259Mb and you can't then recover the files. Rather embarrassing. >

Good morning list, I've a question about backup performed with bacula. I manage a DELL server (dedicated on provider) with C7. I use bacula as backup system with volumes on disk. System performs mon-sat incremental backups and Sun full backup at 03.00 AM. I've another pool (named update) where I performs backup before each software update. Storage is on and external disk 2.5' of

Hi list, i've need to backup a partition of ~200GB with a local connection of 8/2 mbps. Tool like bacula, amanda can't help me due to low bandwidth in local server. I'm thinking rsync will be a good choice. What do you think about? Thanks in advance.

Hey there, what type of backup solution do you use on C7? Thanks in advance

Once rsync has passed through a given section of the tree, it will not see any subsequent changes. I think you miss my meaning. Consider this sequence of events: * "find" begins and processes dirA and then dirB * another application writes

Hi list, I'm searching a valid backup system to perform backups of 3 server, one local and 2 remote, and 2 linux workstation. (this number could be higher in future). Currently I'm testing bacula, scripted rsync with hardlink and borgbackup on C8.1. Bacula works without any problem, well tested, solid but complex to configure. Tested on a single server (with volumes on disk) and? a

Hi list, another question about bacula, but this time about restoring backups. I've a server that I must backup every day. My plan is: from mon to sat incrimental backup and on sunday full backup. When I will perform a restore I must restore from last valid full backup and then all valid incremental backup from last backup to specific date. This server has aweb managed application where

I list, I'm new with backup ops and I'm searching a good system to accomplish this work. I know that on centos there are bacula and amanda but they are too tape oriented. Another is that they are very powerfull but more complex. I need a solution for small office for disk storage and I found Backup PC. Many people say that it is great for small stuff and for great number of data. What do

I did exactly this with ZFS on Linux and cut over 24 hours of backup lag to just minutes. If you're managing data at scale, ZFS just rocks...

I think the answer to this question is Rsnapshot, which is an old and well proven tool: http://rsnapshot.org/. To quote the homepage: > rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot
