Red Flag Linux case selection: Amanda centralized backup instance (1)

Article Title: Linux Case Study: Amanda centralized backup instance (1 ). Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Amanda (Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk archive Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver) Network backup software was the first time I heard about Linux, but I never used it. When I had to back up data, you can write a simple script and use cron for scheduled tasks. Although I used to think about using Amanda, I can only give up if there is no suitable environment.

The current situation is different. Four or five servers need to be backed up and designed for different platforms. The backup features should meet or at least move closer to enterprise-level standards. Therefore, I have looked at Amanda's documents over the past few days and conducted some tests. The configuration is successful in my environment. I will record it and share it with you.

This project will be divided into two documents. This article describes file backup and the next article describes the backup methods for MySQL databases.

　　The configuration process is as follows:

◆ Install and configure the Amanda backup server

◆ Install the Amanda Client

◆ Configure server and client Parameters

◆ Check Configuration

◆ Verify backup

◆ Test recovery

The following list shows the network and machine configurations of the test environment.

1. install and configure the Amanda Service

First from the official site now corresponding to the latest OS Amanda version, I wrote this post, for Ubuntu 8.10 Latest Version 2.6.1p1, you can find the appropriate version from the http://www.zmanda.com/download-amanda.php, including the server and client.

The following operations are performed on the cp1 machine. If not specified, the account used is root.

Because the ubuntu repository comes with a relatively low version and is somewhat different from the official version in terms of configuration, we recommend that you uninstall the built-in version and then install the downloaded version.
