I have a SOHO file server with ~1 TB of data. I would like archive
the data by burning it to a series of optical discs organized by time
(e.g. mtime). I expect to periodically burn additional discs in the
future, each covering a span of time from the previous last disc to
the then-current time.
I am looking for FOSS software for Unix platforms that goes beyond a
disc burner with multi-volume spanning. The term "archive management
system" comes to mind.
Comments or suggestions?
gene heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net>'s suggestion of Amanda is a good
one. It has its kinks, but is solid and reliable. Amanda also handles
compression and encryption for you. I currently use Amanda to back up
to a RAID array. I then use rsnapshot to back portions of that
(including the Amanda virtual tapes) to one of three rotating off-site
USB external drives. I suspect the latter could be adapted to your
requirements.
If you don't find anything readily available, I'd look at using find
and the mtimes to copy to a holding disk, which you can then burn to
archive media.
I suggest you look at Blu-Ray for archiving.
Thank you for the reply. :-)
