Hi,
I am looking into using bacula for a slightly different purpose than the
usual one, and would like some advice on what to watch out for, and
whether bacula is even the right tool for the job.
What I am planning to do is upgrade server hardware; both the hard disks
and the RAID controller needs to be replaced.
So the plan is to I make a backup, then remove the old hard disk and
RAID controller, and install new HDs and a new controller and restore
the backup. This server is running Windows 2003 Small Business Server
and Veritas/Symantec BackupExec to a DAT tape drive.
I have a working bacula configuration that currently backs up 8 servers,
most of them Linux, one Windows 2003. The server I am upgrading is NOT
part of my regular backup strategy; it is normally on a completely
different network (I will be bringing it in-house for this work).
For the backup part of this process, I'm looking at several different
options. Since the controller will be replaced, the easy solution -
Windows NTBackup ASR - is out; it requires identical hardware.
Question: is bacula the right tool for this job? Would I basically
follow the disaster-recovery process described in the manual? Is there
anything I need to watch out for?
Thanks!
