I need a new backup system for some servers. Destination is a RAID, not tapes. So far I have used a self written shell script. 25 years old, over 1000 lines of (HORRIBLE) code, no longer maintenable :-} All backup software I know is either too primitive (e.g. no versioning) or very complex and needs a long time to master it. My new idea is: Set up a backup server with btrfs storage (with compress mount option), the clients do their backup with rsync over nfs. For versioning I make btrfs snapshots. To have a secondary backup I will use btrfs send / receive, Any comments on this? Or better suggestions? The backup software must be open source! -- Ullrich Horlacher Server und Virtualisierung Rechenzentrum TIK Universitaet Stuttgart E-Mail: horlacher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Allmandring 30a Tel: ++49-711-68565868 70569 Stuttgart (Germany) WWW: http://www.tik.uni-stuttgart.de/ REF:<20191112183425.GA1257@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
