Just curious - how are people backing up/archiving their XRD
data servers/internet servers for Linux (and Windows as
well I guess) and what software is being used?
Am looking into this for a new Linux based server -
where DVDRAM discs are the main archiving media for
the moment.
While having some limitations for removable media such
as DVDRam - the GPL'd Mondorescue (linux - and in theory
Windows) looks very superb if people have not bumped
into this already. It is based around creating a custom
bootable CD (and floppy's if you want them)
http://www.mondorescue.org/
Just put the bootable CD in and you are away for recovering
everything in the same state as you backed up - kernel and
everything - or just some parts of the data.
http://www.mondorescue.org/download.html
This is primarily based around a CD writer - but can also work
with tapes, remote hard-disks and other media (though not
as slickly)
---------
Though am keen to find out what else people may be having
good vibes with.
Cheers,
Lachlan.
