Iridia Backup

Strategy

• Full backup once a month (start of the month)
• Differential backup for the rest of the month

Locations

• servicebackup@iridia:/home/servicebackup/iridia_service_backup_system/
• servicebackup@leibniz:/home/servicebackup/iridia_service_backup_system/
• iridiaserver@fallopius:/home/iridiaserver/service_backup_dar/

• Backup system under version control at:
  • svn+ssh://rogrady@iridia.ulb.ac.be/usr/local/share/svn_repositories/iridia_service_backup_system

Todo

• Increase iridiaserver user quota on fallopius (to 250GB?) - Anders
• Enhance backup scripts to delete data older than certain threshold - Rehan
• Alex - Sort out security on backup scripts: mysql passwd
• Put servicebackup@iridia:/home/servicebackup/iridia_service_backup_system/backup.sh into daily cron - Anders
