Obsolete:Backup procedures

This page contains historical information. It may be outdated or unreliable.

THIS PAGE IS OLD AND OUTDATED. It is kept for historical reasons. Most of the info inside will either be or already is wrong/irrelevant. Backup infrastructure has been replaced by Bacula

This page is an inventory of our backups for both clusters data and office data.

Some definitions:

On-site

here means the backup is in the same physical location as the master, but on a different machine.

Off-site

means the backup is in a physically separate location. In most cases it's nice to have both!

Red cells

denote a lacking area which we want/need.
