[Fedora-infrastructure-list] Regrets
by Elliot Lee
Hi all,
I'm involved with Red Hat High all this week, so I'm "stuck" with
taking a tour of the local TV station this afternoon :) and won't be
able to make it to the meeting. Please let me know if there are any
tasks you all want to assign to me for the next meeting.
After seeing today's spam to admin(a)fedoraproject.org, I'm wondering
if Yet Another Project for the TODO list is setting up spam filtering
of some sort...
Best,

[Fedora-infrastructure-list] Backups
by Dennis Gilmore
Hi Everyone,
Sorry i missed the meeting Thursday a Xerox guy turned up late then i
couldn't get him to leave :(
Can everyone look over http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Backup and
provide some feedback here so that we can get some traction moving forward.
Some issues not covered in the wiki are how each would be implemented. i know
rdiff-backup and i assume backuppc would need to be ran by a user who has
sufficient privileges on each machine to read whats needed to be backed up.
what does this mean?
Well in the case of rdiff-backup it could be run centrally as a cron job but
the user that gets connected to at the other end needs to be able to read
everything or it could be decentralised and run as a cron job for root on
each box being backed up. it could then send the data to the backup server
as a user with no privileges.
bacula avoids this by running a daemon on each host. If there is still
people wanting to use bacula I will finish and submit the bacula package I
started on for extras so we can get a review of it rolling. If there is
demand for backuppc then I can start packaging it or someone else can if
they want.
But please provide some feedback or I will make a decision myself.
Regards
Dennis
