Using rsync to move backup sets offsite


Recommended Posts

So, I'm getting tired schlepping tapes to our current offsite storage facility, and I'm trying to find a way to make Retrospect work with an network-based offsite strategy.

 

We're currently doing disk to disk to tape- we transfer most recent snapshots to a rotating set of offsite tapes on a weekly basis.

 

My thought is to replace the tapes with another local disk backup set, and use rsync to synchronize that backup set to an offsite NAS at a data center.

 

Has anyone done something like this? Any reason it wouldn't work?
