Is anyone doing snapshot backups out there? Have you integrated it with bacula at all?
I'm referring to techniques that utilize rsync and hardlinks to create snapshots of data and can keep an easily accessible history of data states for users to access at any time. Here are some resources to check out if interested: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ http://www.rsnapshot.org/ My thought is to use rsnapshot or something similar to backup all of my systems to a big drive on my backup server. Then I would use bacula to backup that big drive to tape. I would still do bacula backups of the client systems for bare-metal restores. But client data areas would be backed up using rsnapshot, then bacula would back up that space. It seems like this would be a good solution. Any thoughts or concerns or issues that I should be aware of? Anyone tried doing something like this before? Thanks for the help!
