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! ...D
