Subject: btrfs based backup?
Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2019 19:34:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191112183425.GA1257@tik.uni-stuttgart.de> (raw)
I need a new backup system for some servers. Destination is a RAID, not
tapes.
So far I have used a self written shell script. 25 years old, over 1000
lines of (HORRIBLE) code, no longer maintenable :-}
All backup software I know is either too primitive (e.g. no versioning) or
very complex and needs a long time to master it.
My new idea is:
Set up a backup server with btrfs storage (with compress mount option),
the clients do their backup with rsync over nfs.
For versioning I make btrfs snapshots.
To have a secondary backup I will use btrfs send / receive,
Any comments on this? Or better suggestions?
The backup software must be open source!
