Backup

Backup of /user & /localgrid

There is no way for users to access the backups. Just send a mail to grid_admin@listserv.vub.iihe.ac.be specifying the file(s)/folder(s) you want, and the date you want it from.

Our zfs server allows us to do regular snapshots:

• There is one done everyday at midnight, we keep the last seven of those (so a complete week).
• We also have one snapshot per week, and keep the last 4 of them (so a month).

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