Re: [Networker] Backup Master Server - Redundancy
2007-08-09 17:50:25
Why would you need a second master ?
When was the last time a Networker server failed on you ? (I manage
Networker for almost 10 years now and I don't recall such an issue. I
have issues with tape drives, but not with the entire server).
What is the damage (cost) of not having a backup amd restore services
to your organization for a day or two ? (My organization (a University)
can live for two days without backup or recovery till we will fix the
old hardware and re-install).
My opinion is do risk management right. IMHO, there is no point in
creating a costly and complex redundancy just for the sake of being able
to backup (or restore) in the rare event (once every two years) that
your servers dies on you.

Server. There has been talk of just making it a storage node. I know
we wouldn't be able to inter mingle media, etc. But I was looking to
see if anyone had opinions on this. Repugnancy, etc. What your opinion
on what we should do? Does anyone have a backup to their Master backup
server?
