Having just navigated the waters of on-line backup solutions for all my precious data at home, I would caution the reg to start writing about errors and bugs on them - It could occupy all the articles from now on!Īll the software I tried (Mozy included) felt like it have been churned out by a couple of coders with only a week to spare and with no time to test it. Home online backup is universally rubbish
#MOZYPRO SNAPSHOT ERROR 0 ARCHIVE#
One thing to notice is that the backup is itself already a second copy of the data, where as the archive is the only copy of the data for historical files. Consider the difference with the following backup, which can only go back as many days as there are backup media.Įither technique can be used with as many backup media disks as desired. For example, I could go to /mnt/backups/backup_/ and find a specific version of a file. The above technique is both simple and allows the admin to lookup the contents of a file any day in the past. Mv /mnt/backups/tmp /mnt/backups/backup_`date +%Y-%m-%d` Rsync -avr -link-dest=`ls /mnt/bacups/backup_* -1d|tail -n 1` /$src/* /mnt/backups/tmp/ True archive (with hardlinks to eliminate dups): Not that one could remove the -del, however the backup will only contain the very last copy of a file, which could be corrupt on the source, therefor the backup may overwrite a clean version with a corrupt version. Note that this excludes data which has been deleted at the source. A single backup is merely a snapshot of the current dataset.

"Archiving" means to copy not only the current file contents, but to retain a copy of the older contents as well.
