[BackupPC-users] Off-site mirror

Hi I used BackupPC since decades for a dozen of PC (Linux and Windows) using rsync/tar through ssh. Some hosts are connected through ADSL connection. It works perfectly well and fully fit my needs. Recently I decided to duplicate backuppc data on a remote mini server (OrangePi+2E + 1TB HD

Re: [BackupPC-users] Off-site mirror

I might have to run up a secondary BackupPC server running the alpha to test it then. No hard-linking could solve my problem. (Well my off-site rsync isn't performing terribly yet, but I imagine it will over time). Is anyone running the version 4 alpha and has perhaps tested rsyncing the pools

Re: [BackupPC-users] Off-site mirror

There is an alpha version available - see the announcements made both to this list and the development list. I haven't heard of any unresolved bugs or issues but that may be due to the fact that there are not yet a lot of testers. Craig has a history of writing pretty clean code and has tested this

I see. How far away might this new version be and what will the changes be that will help rsync? Thanks Alex Clifford | IT Network Engineer Axxin Pty Ltd E| _alex.c@axxin.com_ W| _www.axxin.com _ Australian Office: A| 576 Swan St, Richmond, VIC, Australia 3121 P| + 61

Re: [BackupPC-users] Off-site mirror

I'm currently at ~400GB and the rsync -H seems to take around an hour with 1GB to sync. I'll see how it goes when larger amounts of data are added. I've set the BackupsDisable configuration option to be 2 on the DR system so I can view the web interface and complete restores but not have my DR

Re: [BackupPC-users] Off-site mirror

Hi, I had similar in mind when creating my solution. Depending on the final size of your BackupPC directory (here: 1.3TB) you will realize that rsync isn't really an option. I'll just take ages and keep your BackupPC server busy for hours while syncing. I tried a lot, too. In the end I used drbd.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Off-site mirror

I investigated the archive option in BackupPC but I don't think that will meet our requirements. We would like our off-site backup to be a complete working copy of the local BackupPC system (if required). I've rsynced our current system to another server now so I'll set up BackupPC on there to

Hi all, I have a BackupPC server running at our office successfully but now want to look at an off-site mirror (DR). When I create my off-site serverI want to be able to use it to restore files in the event of a catastrophic failure of our main backup server, but don't want BackupPC running o
