I keep two versions of the ReaR backups on each backup drive. If machine A fails during the backup run then I have the previous run to fall back on. In the unlikely event of machine A failing and backup drive A failing then I need to reinstall from scratch and then restore important filesystems from backup drive B. If machine A and backup drive A and backup drive B fail simultaneously then I pack it in and become a farrier or something. :) > Also, what's your recommended backup schedule onto drives A&B? Your backup schedule should be based on how much time you can afford (or are willing) to spend recovering from complete failure. For me this usually is once a week for the ReaR backups and every 2-3 days for the restic backups. -- \m/ (--) \m/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.blu.org https://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
