Hi , Would appreciate your views on my proposed backup strategy :
Running Clarkconnect Home 3.0 (fedora core 3 basically) - RAID 5 (4 x 300GB SATA drives) , this is my "onsite" storage , comes to about 800GB total - 2 x 300GB SATA drives for offsite storage - Clients (Servers) and Director (Backup Server) will be on their own gigabit network (to minimize network loads) - Bootstrap files and Catalog will be backed up to a separate SD I was thinking of basically running the same config as mentioned in the manual with regards to using Pools to manage your backups. I will also probably need to run daily offsites as well (my boss is very paranoid *g*) , which I will then basically assign the same Job with just a different Pool (if anyone has a better suggestion please do tell). I unfortunately do not have actual totals of full/incr/diff backups , so I hope it will be enough. Few Quick questions I have : - How does RAID 5 affect the actual redundancy of the volumes ? - Can I rather than run a bakup job twice (for on-and-offsite) , just use bcopy to copy the volumes and bootstraps to the offsite disks? Any suggestions/help will be greatly appreciated.
