Backup/sync solutions?
-
@KOM:
I've been using Acronis in an AD environment since v9 and I've never had a problem authenticating, and I backup multiple domains. One set of creds for the backup job and another set for the target location. Works like a charm.
My issues were just looking at the source, much less the destination…
What Acronis edition were you using exactly?

I've been using Acronis in an AD environment since v9
9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 11.0, 11.5. No problem with its AD integration.

I ment edition, not version, sorry.

I think, even though it is a overkill, for offsite and onsite backup in a task weekly:
Source = s:
Destination= d:robocopy s: d: /E /MT:2 /R:50 /W:10 /V /ETA /LOG:robocopy.txt
E = I include every subdirectory including empting ones
MT = Im kind of confused on this one. It creates multi-threaded copies BUT I only have 2 cores on the VM and HT turned off. Would 2 do anything?
R = Number of retry times. Shouldnt do it ever as the office is empty and it isnt in use
W= Wait times. I dont want it to wait forever so every 10 seconds is enough. Basically max 8 minutes per file.
V = Gives output
ETA = How long it is going to take
LOG = Make a log file. Is it possible to do something like robocopy%date%%time%.txt?I think this will be enough for my local copy and my onsite NAS.
This isnt a true "sync" for my offsite NAS thru VPN but if I dont find anything else….Ill do it this way too...

Thank you. Will keep in mind.

Task Scheduler and Robocopy were a lot trickier to set up than a simple BAT file. Got it to work but…

cygwin + rsync?

@Mr.:
cygwin + rsync?
Was one of the solutions I was looking at. A rsync client looks pretty OK to setup in Windows but a server? I gotta look more into that.
Besides robocopy is take a ETERNITY to complete 2.22TB started on Friday at 10PM is still running Sunday at 4PM….

Robocopy is MS's interpretation of 'automation' ( ;D ;D ;D ) (why copy what hasn't changed?).
From your 3 targets, why do you need to install an rsync server? If you have a common NAS (Syno, Qnap, FreeNAS), rsync server is built in, and for the USB-disk you don't need a server. You can simple rsync source target, e.g::
rsync: c:\docs e:\docs (plus the switches of course, which I don't know by head ;D ).
