Backup strategy
Wolverine
The table below list the shared folder of Wolverine and how they are backed up to Mystique.
| Shared folder | Backup strategy |
|---|---|
| family | Drive ShareSync |
| homes | Shared Folder Sync (=rsync), daily, 2.05am (encryption and block-based) |
| music | Drive ShareSync |
| NetBackup | NONE (empty) |
| photo | Drive ShareSync |
| video | Drive ShareSync |
Notes:
- Wolverine acts as the client, it uses then Drive ShareSync.
- The Drive ShareSync is disabled during standard hour. It is enabled from 02.00am to 03.00am.
- Mystique acts as the server, it uses then Drive Server.
- Mystique automatically wakes up during backup time (from 02.00am to 03.00am).
- Because we use rsync to sync the homes share from Wolverine to Mystique, the home service on Mystique must be disabled.
Mnemosyne
The table below list the shared folder of Mnemosyne and how they are backed up to Mystique.
| Shared folder | Backup strategy |
|---|---|
| homes | NONE |
| movie | Shared Folder Sync, manually |
| music | NONE (empty) |
| NetBackup | NONE (empty) |
| photo | NONE (empty) |
| video | NONE (empty) |
Mystique
On the mid-term, Mystique will be entirely replicated to a remote NAS via internet. For now, we have the following shares and backup strategy.

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 [1]. Only solution is to rename the folder or zip it.
