[RDD] Back Up solutions (Slightly OT?)

[Rich Gattie]

Hello List!

I was thinking to myself, "Self! We really need to come up with a better
backup solution!"
Currently I just do a copy of /var/snd to a folder on an external drive,
and then do the SQL backup in Rivendell, copying that to another folder on
the external drive.

I know I should have something a little more robust than that. But I was
curious what would some of you recommend for something simple and automatic?
Am I better off with a shell script that does what I am doing? Or maybe one
of the many open source projects that does back ups?

Thanks in advance.

rsnapshot + automysqlbackup + crontab makes for a  very robust & repeatable
backup system.

We are a small operation, but use RDCatch to schedule a daily backup
of the database, then copy that to the /var/snd/ drive.  Once a week,
the /var/snd drive gets rsync'd to one of 2 alternating backup drives. 
A check of the rsync error log tells us if there were any problems. 
This way, both the database and all audio are backed up in a simple
manner.  This method has worked for us in the rare times of trouble.
