It was expected that existing backup procedures/systems would
suffice for Stage 1 as NFS servers were staying in the legacy
domain. However, there are various servers under DICE that will
need backing up such as mail and web servers. This task has
consequently been moved into Stage 1.
Existing systems/procedures
KB
Existing DCS setup is to do full nightly backups to "rsync" disk
mirrors, with weekly backups to tape. Users can access the "rsync"
filesystems direct via /yesterday/{user}.
BP
Buccleuch Place runs daily incremental backups to tape with a monthly
cycle for full backups. There is one system for UNIX and a separate
one for Macintosh/Windows desktops and laptops.
FH/SB
Notes
We need a simple system initially for the web and mail servers. This
is going to be done using amanda server software and local DAT drives.
Issues
It probably doesn't matter which domain tape servers or rsync
servers are in.
