Q: from what we've read, is rsync the wrong solution for backups? 1359839687 M * Seattle I.e., backing up guests 1359839692 M * Bertl nope, just get the options right 1359839709 M * Bertl e.g. something like rsync -axHPSD --numeric-ids 1359839741 M * Seattle OH! Cool! Will try some changes in options and get back.... 1359840076 M * Seattle Is it possible then to 1) have a backup host 2) rsync the guest as well as other vserver config areas and have a "clone" that we could cut over too if the primary host failed? 1359840102 M * Bertl yep, that's one way to do HA/Failover 1359840166 M * Bertl i.e. group two (or more) hosts into a redundant (rsync or drbd) system ... if one host fails, the other(s) take over 1359840264 M * Seattle OK, thanks - are starting to look for links (e.g., http://linux-vserver.org/Fail-over)....probably too ill defined a question, but is there a "best practice" for doing HA/Failover for vservers? 1359840295 M * Bertl back in the beginning, heartbeat was quite popular 1359840339 M * Bertl nowadays there are several options, starting from simple cron jobs to highly sophisticated HA systems 1359840383 M * Seattle So if we're "getting our feet wet in this", would rsync cron jobs be a comparatively easy way to get started? 1359840390 M * Bertl the basic principle is simple, keep an up to date version somewhere, and when the host goes down, simply start all the guests on the backup 1359840412 M * Bertl on each host, ensure that the guest is not already running on another host when it boots up 1359840439 M * Seattle OK...thanks Bertl (as always) 1359840443 M * Bertl you're welcome! 1359840447 M * daniel_hozac and it always depends on how much your data changes 1359840457 M * daniel_hozac if you have updates every few months, rsync is great. 1359840478 M * daniel_hozac if you have them every few minutes, you will want something more advanced. 1359840507 M * Seattle Hi Daniel - what would you suggest (i.e., data on the guests will be changing continuously)? 1359840549 M * Bertl SAN/NAS, NFS, drbd 1359840577 M * Seattle OK, thanks....sounds like we have some reading to do....(!) 1359840700 M * Bertl for example, multipath on SAS 1359840860 M * Seattle OK...thanks - these chats are great...always get pointed in good directions 1359840920 M * Bertl np, that's what the channel is for after all 1359841164 M * Seattle Will do some research.....get back as to what we end up doing...possibly post if it looks like it would help others.. 1359841182 M * Seattle Bye for now 1359841189 M * Bertl cya 1359841190 Q * Seattle Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.89 [Firefox 17.0/20121119183901] 1359842484 Q * Walex 1359846012 Q * fisted Remote host closed the connection 1359846161 J * fisted ~fisted@xdsl-81-173-189-118.netcologne.de
