Backup Solution like AFFA

[JHolloway (James Holloway)]

I currently administer a number of SMESERVER installs and have worked everything out except how to have a similar backup routine to what I have now.

I have a main server at the office and this is backed up via AFFA from my server at HOME. I have the option to keep 1 yearly, 12 monthly, 4 weekly and 7 daily backups. This is very useful for disaster recovery - when the disaster occurred a long time ago and no-one noticed !!

From what I have read it would appear that I must have a complete backup on day 1 and incremental backups for a week and then have a full backup again the following week.

Is there any option to always have incremental backups and keep the as Yearly, monthly, weekly, daily etc…

If not a 1Tb backup every week is going to be impossible to organise over my broadband connection.

I hope that I have made my question clear.

Take a look at this:

Nethserver-urbackup need testers

Need test please wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:kot1grun/CentOS_6/home:kot1grun.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/urbackup.repo yum install http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/nethserver/nethserver-urbackup/nethserver-urbackup-0.0.2-1.ns6.sdl.noarch.rpm you have some db command # config show urbackup-server urbackup-server=service BroadcastDiscoveryUDPPort=35623 #allowed to the local network FixedIP= #when PublicAccess is set to 'IP', …

And other discussions regarding urbackup

the main killer option of affa is the ‘rising’ feature : backup your server to another server and use this backup server to become your full server.

This option doesn’t exist here.

You can take a look to nethserver-backuppc too

Is there any option to always have incremental backups

I do something similar like described here:

Backup-data-cloud

I hacked the backup-data script to add a second destination to store the backup remotely. The standard backup stores a full backup every Sunday on a local hard disk attached to an usb port, then make incremental backups every day. I added an always incremental backup to a remote linux server over ssh (no bandwidth to make a full backup). Now, every night, when backup-data runs, it will write to the usb disk first and then to the remote server. If one of the two backups fail, it notifies me wi…

I’m not satisfied, but it works. I’m experimenting with borg backup since some months and I like it.
