Backup Architecture
-
I'm just trying to understand and architect a backup configuration that doesn't result in so many snapshots on my main server. Right now we are using continuous replication to keep our primary server synced with a secondary server. We were originally going to also have delta backups to an external NFS, but that would result in 2 snapshots kept on our main server, which we don't have space for. So my next thought was to setup delta backups off the secondary server that has the continuous replicated backups on it, but that doesn't work either, I suspect because the UUID changes every hour (as we are replicating every hour). Is there a way to configure this so we have a nightly copy of our backups without it having to keep a snapshot? Worst case scenario, we can run a 3rd party backup off our secondary server, but was hoping to avoid that if possible. Thanks.

You could have both CR and delta on the same snapshot, using composite backup job
(enable both at the same time) -
@olivierlambert Haha, it's so obvious! Didn't even think to select both at the same time. Genious, thanks.
