Dirvish is a stable working product. Most questions that hit the list turn out to be related to learning how to use it.
I curently use it as a backup soluton and I am quite happy with it. I have extended it: - yaml configuration - script to process yaml and generate dirvish config files, create file systems - xymon plugin to provide alerts for failed backups - regeneration of mlocate db for each bank - working on reasonable hardlink solution (to deduplication) You can see a small presentation I did and links to the extensions at: http://isaac.lsu.edu/lbbl/backup/ As always, this software has no warranty or claim of usefulness -- borrow at your own risk. -- Isaac Traxler AIX,Linux Admin Louisiana State University, LONI [email protected] High Performance Computing 225-578-1923 Storage & Infrastructure On Mon, 31 Mar 2014, Peter Michaux wrote: > Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2014 13:46:59 > From: Peter Michaux <[email protected]> > Reply-To: Dirvish user and developer mailing list <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Dirvish] steps forward for Dirvish? > > Hi, > > I've been learning about Dirvish lately as a possible option for my > web server backup needs.
