Backup options
by manf0001 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XBYE)
Hello,
I'm working for a Small business and we are looking at moving our servers to Linux. I'm looking at Red Hat and possibly using Proxmox or Redhat's Virtual platform.
I come from a Windows admin background so I'm still learning but I do know how to do things, I'm just not a power user yet. One of the things that I've learned is don't think like Windows (which can be hard to break out of the habit) I'm wondering about backups for Linux. I've seen alot of options, like Bacula that seems to be more robust option, but also individual projects such as Borg, rsync, Rear, which seem to provide one or the other.
Example, I would like to have a backup solution that I can do Baremetal backup/recovery (which Rear does) but also to be able to restore individual files, in case someone deletes a file. (which Borg does) I've seen people say oh no for Linux you don't need baremetal, just resinstall and restore your rsync/borg backups.
I'm looking for feedback to see what others are doing for their linux backup solutions.
Thanks.
