I have spent the past couple of weeks doing a review of the state of our production environment. Out of that review, it was determined that one of the more pressing issues was a revamp of our backup procedures. I wanted to implement a solution that could be centrally managed and could maintain flexible policies.
Bacula seems to fit the bill. It is an open source backup solution that uses a pull mechanism to grab the data off of servers. I have used this solution for backups before due to encryption requirements for another project, but I have not previously set up bacula to manage a significant number of machines.
I will create another post once I have gotten a solid configuration together along with some testing I will create another post regarding managability and resource utilization.
