We aren't interested in restoring individual files that a user might have deleted.

The goal is to recover a server quickly after a failure. Each less than 5GB of Data.Īs it stands these backups are going to be backed up to a 1TB external drive and then to S3 via Jungledisk. (One of them has 2TB of storage, but that is being handled by Jungledisk.)ģ Linux VMs running on ESXi. The server infrastructure I need to back up is:ģ Windows servers, less than 10GB of data each.Ģ Linux servers, also less than 10GB of data each. I also briefly looked into Bacula, but to get the solution we needed would be very 'hacky' and probably prone to failure. Storgrid only supports BMR of Windows systems. From what I found ARCServe doesn't have BMR support at all. So far I have tried Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server, ARCServer Backup 15, and looked at Storgrid.Īcronis was pretty close to what we are looking for but currently doesn't support BMR of Linux to dissimilar hardware 100%.

Something akin to ' Intelli-Delta' or ' I2 Technology'.

Restore to dissimilar hardware (Windows a must, Linux would be nice).

Supports Windows or Linux as the backup server.

Not booting to a LiveCD like Clonezilla for a backup)

Runs while the server is running (I.E.

Detailed Logs of what was backed up and more importunately what wasn't backed up.

Bare Metal Recovery to Windows and Linux.

Different Backup types (Full, Incremental, etc.).

We are in the discovery process of looking for backup software that meets the following goals.
