-The other half of the raid array for the homedirs in [[dalek]] is sitting in [[brigadier]].
-We do not have any form of backups of homedirs in place, other than a copy from about a year ago.
-Same applies to the [[davros|webserver]], although it's raid is in place, the disk has some very bizarre filesystem errors (re: ~kate/qcmweb)
-====== Things to backup ======
-===== User data =====
-//This is stuff we just can't get back/rebuild//
-**[[ldap]]
-**\\Currently backed up to /root/ldap/backup on [[baker]] (the [[ldap]] server). This should backup elsewhere, for obvious reasons.
-**Home dirs
-**\\**THIS IS UNRAIDED AND NOT BACKED UP!** This **has** to get fixed on [[tardis_day_i]].
-**Mail dirs
-**\\//Similarly//
-**Web dirs
-**\\Raid-Mirrored. Not backed-up.
-**Databases
-**\\Not backed up. We should probably do SQL dumps, rather than dumps of the raw db backened.
-===== Other stuff =====
-**System configurations
-**\\[[lcfg]] proved too much of a beast to handle. Best methods for doing this, suggestions?
-Tarballing ''/etc'' would //help// in a lot of cases, but isn't a proper solution.
-**System logs
-**\\There's probably some sense in this, if we get haX0rised, but that's probably OTT.
-//Might be worth sending syslogs to a [[log_server]], which only l33t admins can access?// - sjh
-//Seems such a facility already existed on dalek, it just hadn't been used since early 2004 - this was like 300MB of logs a day - would want to seriously bitshift this down to reasonable size if we want to consider storing them// - Seth 18:28, 29 January 2006 (GMT)
-**The wiki
-**\\MediaWiki has facilities for this - probably want to automate...
-====== Solution ======
-Pert has started installing a new machine - [[tennant]] (//CNAME ''backup.tardis''//) which contains one 120GB disk in [[lvm]]. We will be using backup PC to administer backups.
