Make Recoveries

[Michelle Barton]

I'm trying to avoid buying tape drives for my systems on other networks, so if I perform some type of recovery, can I then burn that file onto a CD for future recovery, where I would boot off of the CD drive. Make sense?

How do you guys deal with system recovery on other networks?

Thanks,
Michelle

if you have some CPU cycles to spare on one server on your network, you can designate this server (provided it has ample amount of storage space to accomodate ignite images of however many systems that you want to image) as ignite server and instead of storing ignite images on the tape, you can store them on this ignite server and should the unexpected happen and your system bit the dust, you can boot from the network using this ignite server and your previously saved image.

I never tried burning my ignite images to CDs, hence I can not comment on the viability of this alternative.

You can burn it to CD. Section 7 of the FAQ explains how to do it.

You could also go with the network images.

Mel,
That is what I do for the local servers. However, this does not work if I have servers on another subnet. Thanks for your input.

Could you get get some routing changes, so all of your backups could talk?
