jpalmer: ptierno: network-based backups have kinda become the standard at this point. ptierno: jpalmer: yes. but cant seem to find an answer as to the best way to go about a full system backup
i think i am going to stick to rsync
some recommend bacula jpalmer: I'm a bacula guy, but each shop is different, and has different needs. and all solutions have their pros/cons ***: HighJinx has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)

HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks toddf: just to throw out a new name on the backup front, cyphertite.com is the most secure solution I've seen (you keep the keys, they can't read the data) plus it does dedup and the client is opensource .. fwiw .. mike-burns: How's it compare with tarsnap? twobitha1ker: sounds a lot like tarsnap actually ***: gcw|mbpro has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
sako has joined #arpnetworks mhoran: Same.
They also cant decrypt your data.
Plus it's open source (though restricted license, for good reason), with a bounty for finding bugs. ***: fink has quit IRC (Quit: fink)

fink has joined #arpnetworks mike-burns: Glad it has competition. kraigu: available to Canadians? :P mike-burns: http://goo.gl/jSMhv - tarsnap is available to Canadians. kraigu: oh, I missed that.
but I did see another post from him talking about his efforts on behalf of Revenue Canada, I just didn't get 4 when I added 2+2 I guess fink: anybody have a recommendation for ordering business cards online? jdoe: kraigu: cperciva is canadian
sfu alum, I think kraigu: jdoe: I know mike-burns: jdoe: That's why tarsnap wasn't available to Canadians for a long while. kraigu: jdoe: his difficulty in selling to fellow canucks was related to collecting tax from out-of-province types
I had every sympathy for that; our tax laws are grotendous. :( tooth: you people with your own mailservers, including spam prevention, do you run 1 or 2 MXs ? jdoe: one. kraigu: one jdoe: backup mx only complicates antispam shit, and realistically anyone/thing will retry for a while anyway.
so assuming you're not expecting week-long outages you should be fine. tooth: yeah. exactly the first two comments.
my friend and I are backup mx/dns for each other.
cept his version of spam control is shitty bayesian that he spends 10min a day on
and i get tons of shit from his srver to mine that I can't filter sanely.
jdoe, does it complicate it if you control both MXs? fink: tooth: i'm setting up dovecot with a spam filter this weekend ***: Bob_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) fink: check this out: http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/dovecot-antispam/ tooth: ah cool. ***: HighJinx has quit IRC (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.) jdoe: tooth: yes.
tooth: the rules need to be in sync on both sides, user lists need to be mirrored, etc. etc.
also if you have greylisting/postscreen/similar on both sides, that ratchets up your retry count real quick.
tooth: backup dns is meh, there are plenty of places (afraid, rollernet, etc) that will provide backup dns for you
tell your friend to get bent ;) tooth: well, I can keep backup dns with him. i mean. doesn't hurt. my changes get replicated
i'll just drop him as backupmx kraigu: that's what I'd suggest jdoe: I suggest dropping him. kraigu: depends how personally he takes it :P mike-burns: Stage a spam filter intervention. tooth: why drop working backup DNS? kraigu: tooth: have you tried failing your primary in various ways to see how the backup is actually working? (not trying to be a dick, but, well, how sure are you that it's an actual backup?) tooth: yup. we tested a long while ago jdoe: tooth: no, I mean him personally. Kill him, eat his heart, assume his powers. kraigu: ...
jdoe thinks he's the highlander tooth: oh i misunderstood then. righto, carryon jdoe: "thinks" kraigu: also, watch out, higher incidences of brain issues in cannibals tooth: there can be only one -: jdoe CARRIES A PORK SWORD
tooth carries a longpork sword kraigu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_%28disease%29 etc ***: HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks
