Hi all,
I've been hunting around for a nice backup system that will allow me
to backup a remote server to DVD. I was looking at Bacula, which
according to its manual seems about the perfect solution (if a bit
unweildy), but in actual fact doesn't support DVD writing except in
CVS. I haven't really looked into Amanda, but DVD writing seems to be
a bit of a hack, no? Currently I'm using flexbackup over SSH, but
that requires nanual intervention to actually write the archives to
DVD, and restoration is difficult.
Does Mondo Archive have DVD support? If so, that might be a viable
solution.
Hmm, it looks interesting but the problem is I don't have physical
access to the server. My idea was to grab the backups from the server to
my other machines (at home), and burn the backups at home. Bacula would
be pretty much perfect, and I could also start backing up other machines
on my local network while I'm at it. I'm just really disappointed by its
lack of DVD support.
Is anyone using Amanda's DVD 'taper'? How well does it work? Can anyone
comment?
Many thanks,
Chris
