Linux backups & CD-R?

Linux backups & CD-R? 05/24/2004 12:13 PM
So, like the good sysadmin I am, my home servers are completely un-backed-up. (Cobbler's kids always have no shoes, y'know) It's time to fix that, though. Anyone have a recommendation for a good backup solution (with full and incremental backups) for Linux systems with CD-Rs as the target backup media? This beastie has about 160G of disk space and I'd hate to have to redownload and recreate all the stuff on it....

Distributed Backups?

Distributed Backups? 09/10/2004 04:47 PM
Having lost way too many hard-drives in the last couple years, I've become pretty focused on backup systems, and (judging from a few conversations here at DEMOmobile) it's a subject that a lot of people are interested in. Bob Cringely's latest column is another one of his "big idea for a company" suggestions that he simply tosses out and hopes someone builds: a peer-to-peer distributed backup system. The idea is pretty simple. You download some backup software which encrypts the data you want to backup, breaks it up into little chunks and moves it out over a peer-to-peer network. The amount of data you can backup is limited by the amount you agree to store yourself. In Cringely's plan, this whole thing should cost $3.95/month. Of course, you'd need to distribute many copies of the various pieces to make sure that there aren't chunks missing -- which will also mean that many people will need to be in the system before it's really all that reliable. Obviously, some people will freak out about chunks of their data (even if they are encrypted) sitting on random hard drives out there). In the meantime, it appears Cringely doesn't use Google, because a quick search on the topic suggests at least some people are already working on this type of technology.

I think this newsletter should be the last one on directory backups, restores, hardware upgrades and related activities. It seems like ages ago, but really was only a couple of weeks ago, that I presented the case of a reader who got in trouble while upgrading hardware on his Small Business Suite single-server system due to an inability to restore a supposedly good backup of the NDS/eDirectory system.
