Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2024-a2f6e5ddb8
2024-02-21 01:31:44.025573
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : rear
Product : Fedora 39
Version : 2.7
Release : 8.fc39
URL : https://relax-and-recover.org
Summary : Relax-and-Recover is a Linux disaster recovery and system migration tool
Description :
Relax-and-Recover is the leading Open Source disaster recovery and system
migration solution. It comprises of a modular
frame-work and ready-to-go workflows for many common situations to produce
a bootable image and restore from backup using this image. As a benefit,
it allows to restore to different hardware and can therefore be used as
a migration tool as well.
Currently Relax-and-Recover supports various boot media (incl. ISO, PXE,
OBDR tape, USB or eSATA storage), a variety of network protocols (incl.
sftp, ftp, http, nfs, cifs) as well as a multitude of backup strategies
(incl. IBM TSM, MircroFocus Data Protector, Symantec NetBackup, EMC NetWorker,
Bacula, Bareos, BORG, Duplicity, rsync).
Relax-and-Recover was designed to be easy to set up, requires no maintenance
and is there to assist when disaster strikes. Its setup-and-forget nature
removes any excuse for not having a disaster recovery solution implemented.
Professional services and support are available.
