Managed Customer (VM) backup

This document concerns end-users/customers. See [[datacenterlight:Backup]] page for server-side documentation.

Status

This document is a DRAFT.

Overview

We make use of the ccollect software, which runs every day at 3AM Europe/Zurich. The backup server and storage clusters are in a location (place5) physically separated from the customer VMs (place6).

FAQ

How to enable this service?

You will have to contact our support and give them the following details:

  • Address of the VM to backup (IPv6 or domain with AAAA field).
  • Directories to backup. Default is / excluding /sys and /proc.

ccollect makes use of rsync to transfer data and needs to connect to your server over SSH (rsync itself is not encrypted!). You need to configure an user - root for a full system backup - with the following SSH key (to put in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys:

# backup.place5.ungleich.ch
