Hello guys: Based on your experience, what alternative do we have for backing up information to the cloud preferably using Bacula?
I've been reading some posts about similar topics. Bandwidth always seem to be a problem because it isn't to big (Gigs per second) or there's to much information (several terabytes) and Bacula can't run jobs for so long without modifying source code and recompiling. I've been thinking something alternatives like these: 1. Backup to local disk and configure Copy jobs to make a copy to Amazon S3. Local backups can run always fast but Copy jobs might be delayed ... without issues? 2. Configure Amazon Storage Gateway as VTL so Bacula can backup directly to Amazon using virtual tape devices through iSCSI. What do you think about this? 3. For a single fileserver to be backed up (let's say a Samba server), I could create a replica in the cloud (i.e. Amazon EC2) which can be constantly synchronized (via rsync) and run Bacula locally in such EC2 instance. What other ideas have you thought? Maybe a combination of other open source tools that can be combined with Bacula? or maybe a different open source solution that replaces Bacula to save backups in the cloud? I'd appreciate some ideas, pros and/or cons to be discussed. Thanks in advance for your time bats! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
