Hi all,
This may be a little off topic (not directly related to FC) but I do need a
little advice for my FC server.
I have been searching for a backup method for my personal server (files,
mysql). As I am currently a student, and cannot afford a tape backup system
I would like to backup to the DVD-R / RW drive I have in my server.
Is this a feasible idea? I have seen that there is at least one commercial
product that will backup to optical media, but unfortunately I have to slosh
through multiple pages of people wanting to copy DVDs (for archival purposes
of course) on their Linux systems just to find a nibble or two. Is there
anything available through yum or apt already for FC?
Does anyone have any practical experience in this?? What are your own
experiences?
Thanks,
Ian
