Good day to you all,
I would greatly appreciate any recommendations, related experiences,
and tips for the following goal:
On a monthly and manual basis - to take a snapshot of data from a
FreeBSD server and Windows server. Then compress and hopefully encrypt
the data and send it to a remote FreeBSD server through some form of
efficient and secure file transfer. Uncompressed a snapshot of all the
data may total over ~8GB.
On a nightly and automated basis - to take a snapshot of all new and
modified data from a FreeBSD server and Windows server. Then compress
and hopefully encrypt the data and send it to a remote FreeBSD server
through some form of efficient and secure file transfer. Uncompressed
the nightly data may total ~20MB.
Anytime (assuming the remote server IS available, of course) - have
the ability to access the data and restore the data files to any
systems respective of what type it came from (Windows or BSD, etc).
And if a full restore was necessary, the data may total over 10GB.
Hardware and network-wise... here is what I was thinking:
FreeBSD & Windows Servers on the LAN
|
| LAN - firewalled
v
FreeBSD server where all the data would be collected and compressed
v
|
| Internet - secure connection or transport of some type (SCP, SSH, VPN, etc.)
|
| Remote co-lo
v
FreeBSB server where all the data would be stored with at least RAID 1
Thank you!
