    OK gals/guys, tell me what you would do should you need to backup your
    linux server.

    Thanks you all!

My preference is a  new, rotating snapshot locally every day for at 
least one weeks worth and weekly snapshots on a remote server for at 
least 3 months worth.  I'm less concerned about the OS than data and 
network setup.

That's saved me a couple of times.  About 2 years ago we got hit by 
ransomeware near the end of the day.  I was up and running by midnight 
and that included testing that everything restored properly, was 
working, and reindexing certain Filepro indexes which were the only 
things affected.  (The ransom-ware focused on files with specific 
extensions in order to do as much damage as quickly as possible.  
Filepro Key and Data files have no extensions so they were left unharmed 
which meant that the work from that day was unaffected and just required 
the index rebuilds.)

Boaz
