Title: OpenVPN site 2 site and backup
Post by: groyk on April 29, 2013, 10:12:07 AM

Hi All

Finally i am starting the move to SME8, (time is always a problem).
On my 7.x server i use 3. party backup (http://www.nordic-backup.eu/)
I don't like the fact that this solution runs JAVA.

I my new setup I have planned to setup 2 servers.

Server 1. (Main server)
Installed in factory using almost all functions in the plain SME

Server 2. (Remote located)
Used for test purpose (Webdevelopment ect.)
Holding backups offsite

I planned to use the SME standard Backup to network.

The question is now, should I
1. backup to local network in office and then sync to remote server
or
2. Backup to remote server (connectet through OpenVPN site2site - http://wiki.contribs.org/OpenVPN_SiteToSite)
or
3. Am I missing something, more simpel solution. I like KIS concepts

The connection between the 2 locations are (Fiber 15 mbit.)

yes.. you missed Affa (http://wiki.contribs.org/Affa) :)

you can run it even without vpn, as it uses ssh..

Hi Steano

I know that, Affa seems to be the perfect tool. But I can see that it is not maintained no more.
Would it be a repayable solution for the future?

I need the Site2site for the servers anyway for sharing networks.

Witch method is best for restoring single files.
