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.

Package install

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

Add the repo. 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.
