<h1>Presenting TISBackup<a class="headerlink" href="#presenting-tisbackup" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<p>Different open source solutions exist but did not meet our specifications.</p>
|
|
<section id="baccula">
|
|
<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>

<section id="r-snapshot">
|
|
<h3>r-snapshot<a class="headerlink" href="#r-snapshot" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
|
|
<p><strong class="program">r-snapshot</strong> almost corresponds to the specifications
|
|
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>
|
|
</ul>
