[SAC] Fwd: Re: [support.osuosl.org #20349] Backup Implementation for OSGeo VMs

[Alex Mandel]

Did this email make it to the list?

Martin, can you come up with a response about our needs in terms of how
much space we'd want on such a backup system. Seems to me since we were
already planning on pushing some funds OSUOSLs direction this could fit
into part of that, and we could hold back on purchase of new hardware.

Thanks,
Alex

I would prefer integrating it into our bacula and we could come up with a
cost estimate for you to contribute into. How much data are you backing up?
What kind of a rotation are you using/doing? How many clients need to be
backed up? We also sync our bacula data off-site daily.
