Hi,
I am about to install Bacula for the first time on an Apple Intel Xserve
running Mac OS X Server 10.4.10.
Something I had in mind was using a dedicated disc volume to run Bacula
director and the other critical components such as File Server, Database
Server and Storage Server. This dedicated disc volume would only
purposefully be rebooted to based on a cron schedule which cron would be
running of operating system booted from the main Xserve's internal disc
volume that is normally used to boot and run the server. The reason I want
to do this is that I want to backup multiple disc volumes that the Xserve
uses (including its internal normally booted from disc) and to do so when
the normally running applications and data are not being used operationally.
Is there any reason why I could not do reboot to this dedicated disc volume
which would then run all of the core Bacula daemons and to do its business
of backing up and then once the backup processes have been completed, I
could write a script which would then reboot the Xserve back to its normal
operations state (using its internal disc drive)?
Maybe this sound convoluted but I don't have another machine at the moment
that can be used to run Bacula for command and control of the Xserve
externally but on the same subnet.
Thanks for any feedback.
Cheers.
