Thread: Backups

-

hi all

i'm looking up. objectives are:

- backup several windows machines (just mount shares?) , linux machines
- backup locally specific server , and replicate off site (i have linux box remotely to)
- keep last month worth of nightly ups
- keep once month, 1st of each month few years

in past i've backed single machine single destination rdiff-backup , left no retention etc. i'm dealing lot more data though i'm going have manage better. upon searching see if can 'keep nightlies month , keep on 1st of each month 2 years' found rsnapshot.

rdiff-backup:
- has option run --remove-older-than except want keep 1st of each months well

rsnapshot:
- has retain option same issue rdiff-backup basically

correct in thinking in both cases have run 2 backups? nightly , monthly 1 , set retain/remove-older-than appropriately? annoying surely means lot more data transfer , storage when data there?

i'm thinking off site copy can use rsync or between 2 servers keep replicated copy of backup destination.

tips, ideas, or i'm missing please?

thanks

how devide circle equal parts reggie,   depending on version, may able use free divide (length) script available here, setting number,   http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html   or may (smart guides friends):   1) use polar grid tool right size of circle, 0 concentric dividers , desired number of radial dividers, , ungroup; 2) extend radial dividers; 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.   or may (smart guides friends):   1) create vertical line through top , bottom (or left , right) anchor points line tool; 2) rotate copies @ relevant angles (to half number of cuts division); 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.
