Back to Disaster Recovery

Architecture

 * 1) Each backup server is in a different building.
 * 2) Each building is separately located on campus.
 * 3) Each backup server uses Ubuntu LTS server software.
 * 4) Each backup server has BackupPC installed.
 * 5) BackupPC is setup to use the "rsyncd" method for pulling in the backups from the production servers.



Methodology

 * Step 1. A local database backup is performed daily on the production server to be backed up.
 * Step 2. The local database backup and the /home/dspace folder on the production server are then copied/synced to both backup servers which use BackupPC.
