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.
