Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup destination is another server

Wait!

RAID is not a backup. Search Google with keyword "raid is not backup" and try to understand why RAID is not backup.

You can do rsync pre-seed as you mentioned, which you rsync your BackupPC server to a machine, then move that machine to remote location, and repeat the rsync later. That will help with initial backup.

If you really want to have a remote replication system, I would suggest you to explore GlusterFS geo-replication.

But, you have to setup your GlusterFS cluster filesystem before you can use the geo-replication. Setting up GlusterFS is another long story, requires extra machine and storage, but in the end, it should be able to solve your problem.

My 'problem' is that the fileserver on site 1 is about 4TB of space. And about 2TB is used.
In total 6x1TB disk, which are configured in raid. So we've got a kind of 'backup' already onsite with the raid.

And the idea is that we've got a remote backup, pref daily.

I was thinking to sync the data the first time locally, then move the backup server to the remote site.
This way, the only copies that need to be copied are the changed files. And not the complete 2TB.

What do you think? Suggest? ...
