< p > The objective of TISbackup is to benefit from file backups
and centralized alert feedback on “reasonable” data volumes
(of the order of a few TB).< / p >
< p > TISBackup allows:< / p >
< ul class = "simple" >
< li > < p > to know if a recent backup exists;< / p > < / li >
< li > < p > to keep a history with deduplication at the file level (no duplicate backups);< / p > < / li >
< li > < p > to have an immediate view of the contents of a server or a server area
for data restoration ;< / p > < / li >
< li > < p > to export the last backup to an external media in order to transfer
it to a secure location;< / p > < / li >
< li > < p > to configure the backup cycle with a simple
and readable < em class = "mimetype" > .ini< / em > file;< / p > < / li >
< li > < p > to work with a module mechanism to extend the type of backups
(https, rsync, postgres, mysql,) of virtual machines;< / p > < / li >
< / ul >
< p > Satisfying these needs stems from the need for a tool
to manage a vast pool of machines each hosting a multitude
of different software or services (different editors,
different hardware platforms and operating environments, etc.).
Finally, as the backup procedures of a publisher changed without any warning,
the remote backup mechanisms were regularly broken, which caused us some scares
with the mechanisms we were using before.< / p >

< h2 > Overview of existing solutions< a class = "headerlink" href = "#overview-of-existing-solutions" title = "Permalink to this headline" > ¶< / a > < / h2 >

< h3 > Baccula< a class = "headerlink" href = "#baccula" title = "Permalink to this headline" > ¶< / a > < / h3 >
< p > < strong class = "program" > Baccula< / strong > is a high-performance solution for full backups on tape
and removable media. However, a restore can take a long time
and the storage of a history can be voluminous.
The backup is saved on a file system that is not readable by a Windows system.
An uninitiated “backup manager” will not be able to check the contents
of his backup from home.< / p >

but is complex to configure and any necessary modification
would have been difficult to develop as an overlay of the existing one:< / p >
< ul class = "simple" >
< li > < p > the backups are organized by date then by zone which is the opposite
of what was desired;< / p > < / li >
< li > < p > it is not possible to configure different backup frequencies
according to the criticality levels of the servers;< / p > < / li >
< li > < p > finally, the deletion of obsolete backups is done in the same process
as the backups, which can be very long and can be problematic
if there is a problem during the backup.< / p > < / li >
