[RDD] Back Up solutions (Slightly OT?)
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. -- -=:{ Rich Gattie, KB2MOB }:=- Email: mob...@gmail.com Web: http://x1radio.net ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

rsnapshot + automysqlbackup + crontab makes for a very robust & repeatable backup system. On Fri, Oct 15, 2021 at 12:15 PM Rich Gattie wrote: > > Hello List! > > I was thinking to myself, "Self!

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. --Chuck On Fr, 15 Oct 2021 12:14:31 -0400 Rich Gattie wrote: > > Hello List! > > I was thinking to myself, "Self!
