Hello all,
My friend recommend rdiff-backup so I am currently researching it for my
backup solution. I am brand new to the system so please forgive me for
any dumb questions.
What I am looking for is a FreeBSD backup solution that will duplicate
my multiple mission-critical servers to a remote system in case
something goes bad. In case something bad does happen, I’d like to
invoke a command and be able to restore the entire system back, not
having to do a rebuild then copy files back as that will have a longer
downtime.
Is rdiff-backup the correct solution for my use case? If so, does
anyone have any information on whole-system level backup examples /
documentations? I have read documentations on the site already, but
they mostly talk about directories. I am sure there are caveats when
one’s backing up complete system.
Thanks in advance.
I'm sure that you could devise some scheme to do a full metal restore
with rdiff-backup, but in my opinion, it's not the tool for the job.
Regards,
N.
