Hello list,
I was recently contacted by a lawfirm that needs a remote backup solution to help bring their insurance rates down. I've decided to go ahead and do this, as their needs are not that great.
What I'm asking, is how best to setup this situation. I've never played with jails or anything, but I'm not sure if I really need to go that far. I'm considering building a server that has ssh and sftp access. The plan is to allow them to upload at their pace, and provide next-day DVD/CD copies of their entire directory structure.
Any advice on how to go about this?
I do this using rsync. Remote FreeBSD machines are straightforward. For Windows computers wishing to backup remotely I am starting to use:
http://sync2nas.sourceforge.net/
I also find it helps to start with a copy of their data from some medium like a tape, CD(s) or DVD, or even a hard drive moved from one machine to another. Otherwise, the initial transfer can, literally, take weeks.
HTH
Peter.
Thanks!
