Backup-serveren er freebeast.nuug.no. Programvaren som brukes er rdiff-backup, samt noen egne scripts.
Backup starter 01:00 hver natt, og kjører foreløpig mot to hosts om gangen.

Installasjon av software gjort for formålet:

root@freebeast:~ # pkg install py39-rdiff-backup py39-yaml sudo bind-tools

Klargjøring av disk/zfs:

root@freebeast:~ # zfs create -o compression=lz4 data/backup # Skru på compression, så rdiff-backup slipper

Sudo-rettigheter for rdfbck:

[root@freebeast ~]# cat /usr/local/etc/sudoers.d/rdfbck
# Allow the rdfbck user to run necessary commands as root, without password.
# Rdiff-backup itself must run as root to allow backed up files to have their
# original UID/GIDs when stored in the backup repository.  The zfs commands are
# used in the add-new-host script.
rdfbck ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup, /sbin/zfs create *, /sbin/zfs list *

Alt dette oppsettet skal inn i ansible på sikt.

root@freebeast:~ # su - rdfbck
[rdfbck@freebeast ~]$ bin/add-new-host <fqdn for ny host>

# Gjør evt. justeringer i filelist_<fqdn> slik at innholdet i backupen blir riktig.

• Installer rdiff-backup 2.x fra pakke-repo eller andre måter
