Backup / Replication Policy

Process

The BlackBackup -a process runs on MMU, MMM, MMW (not on MMA) every day using cron scheduling.

The files are replicated in various places, all being directories with name 'BlackBackup'.

When the files are under /home/pge, they are also replicated from MMM (original) to MMU, MMW and MMA.

Target devices

This includes

- USB devices named /media/pge/BLACKDISK (having directories named BlackBackup)

- network disk having BlackBackup directories

 

Directories to be replicated

The BlackBackup script itself contains the list of the vital files and directories.
