Backup strategy
Wolverine
We have the following folders and strategy:
| Shared folder | Strategy |
|---|---|
| family | CloudStation ShareSync |
| homes | Shared Folder Sync, daily, 3.00am (encryption and block-based) |
| music | CloudStation ShareSync |
| NetBackup | NOT backup |
| photo | CloudStation ShareSync |
| video | CloudStation ShareSync |
Notes:
- Because we use rsync to sync the homes share from Wolverine to Mystique, the home service on Mystique must be disabled.
Troubleshoot
Sync issues with CloudStation - Wolverine
- Family
- Some files missing, but in the exclude list (Thumbs.db, *.tmp, *.swp, *.lnk, desktop.ini).
- Some file missing that should not (~500MB:
- Files in Program Files folder.
- There is no fix for that [2]. Only solution is to rename the folder or zip it.
