Re: [BackupPC-users] Has anybody here configured BackupPC to back up/ima

Hi,

How about Clonezilla + Ceph cluster + btrfs?

Clonezilla - should be able to backup the whole hard disk as image

Ceph cluster - block based distributed storage, with object, file and block based access for client.

btrfs - to use the deduplication feature to save space.

For ceph, you can start with 2 node first, to get redundancy, then slowly add new node to increase the storage size and improving redundancy

Thanks.

SO, I took this from their Wikipedia page "BackupPC is not a block-level backup system like Ghost4Linux but performs file-based backup and restore. Thus it is not suitable for backup of disk images or raw disk partitions"

Hmmm, just thinking outloud here but is there something open source that is better suited for server backups/restores/disaster recovery?

Or do those that use this find that it is relatively easy in the event of a disaster. Right now I'm working on implementing something into our small production environment (consisting entirely of Centos servers) and I have BackupPC up and running, just want to see if maybe I should reconsider before we get too far along and switching to something else becomes much more painful.

Any/all opinions are welcomed :D
