Overview

I need to back up a server Bellman and a desktop Laysan and possibly a couple laptops (but those will probably just use TimeMachine since they are Macs.

For years I used a perl script. Tired of that.

The user interface will be on Laysan. The storage will be on Bellman.

Bellman has a RAID mirror with two 2TB drives. Bellman has its OS on a SSD. So I want to back up the SSD to the RAID.

Laysan has one SSD for the OS and one data drive.

Bacula

Bellman: sudo apt-get install bacula-sd-mysql bacula-server bacula-common-mysql

Laysan: sudo apt-get install bacula-console-qt bacula-client bacula-common bacula-traymonitor

Mondo

Simple fast way to create a bootable DVD on Laysan.

Add the repo, add the packages

echo > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mondorescue.sources.list \
"deb ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/debian 7 contrib"
apt-get update
apt-get install mondo

Run mondoarchive as root.

When prompted for what to ignore, enter /var/swapfile1|/home This will create a bootable DVD that can restore the SSD.

I have a partition with Windows 8.1 in it... I should probably think about backing it up sometime but right now I just don't care because I have not used it for anything.
