Backup: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:16, 15 July 2016

All backups can be found in the /backup directory on the UIs and WNs.

Our zfs server allows us to do regular snapshots:

There is one done every 24 hours at midnight, we keep the last seven of those (so a complete week), eg:

auto:hourly-storage-2016-07-09-00:00

We also have one snapshot done every 7 days at 3am, and keep the last 4 of them (so a month), eg:

auto:daily-storage-2016-06-29-03:00

Additionnaly, the /user is backed up every day to a secondary machine, in case our main fileserver goes down.
