Backing up Un*x systems

halfgaar.net — Seriously: noöne seems to get this right. But, my buddy, Halfgaar, will show you how it should be done. According to him, most of the helpful backup advice given on forums and mailing lists won't help much when you actually need to use a backup. At this time you'll discover that most of these backups simply won't help you recover.

  • beplacid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is actually quite an informative and interesting article. Not only does it cover what you should be doing, it covers what the author thinks you shouldn't be.

    Well worth a read, even if you know your backup routine!
  • supercoder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great article. But what about a restore?
    If you can't restore, you didn't do a backup. Would be nice if the author included restore instructions.
