Advanced Backup and User Management
fettfoen
We are planning to transition to Bareos and replace our TSM library. In the past, I have already worked with Bareos, but I only used it for disk-based backups and did not implement user management. For our future needs, we would like to inquire if the following features can be implemented in Bareos:
1. Client Backup to Disk, with Later Migration to Tape
It would be beneficial if clients could back up their data to disk first, and then migrate that data to tape at a later stage. A useful addition would be a cache mechanism, where “hot” data (e.g., recently backed-up or frequently accessed files) remains on disk while the rest is moved to tape.
2. Data Copy to Two Tapes in Two Separate Libraries
We require increased data security and redundancy. Ideally, the data should be copied from disk to two different tapes located in two separate libraries.
3. Restricted User Permissions for Individual Clients
For greater flexibility and security in our environment, we need the ability for users to only see, back up, and restore their own clients. Ideally, this should be managed through LDAP-controlled user and group assignments to simplify administration.
Thanks!
