Home share

Your Home share is automatically backed up by C&CZ with a daily, monthly and yearly backup. So if you by accident deleted a file few months ago, you can still recover it.

SURF drive

SURFdrive gives you a a personal cloud storage service with 100GB of storage with 30-day backup and recovery.

Amanda backup server of C&CZ

The backups are made with the Amanda open source network backup software. Amanda can back up a large number of workstations running multiple versions of Unix/Mac OS X/Linux/Windows.

An Ubuntu machine can be installed as an amanda client. General instructions for the configuration can be found in this Howto.

Specific settings for the C&CZ configuration:

  • The amanda client should listen to the non-standard port 10011 instead of 10080. Change /etc/services to reflect this.
  • The amanda server is bus.science.ru.nl. Allow this server to access the client in /etc/amandahosts and the only_from line in /etc/init.d/xinetd.

In the summer of 2013 C&CZ has renewed their amanda backup system. They can now backup partitions till 200 Gb in size. Bigger partitions may be possible using an exclude file which specifies several directories to exclude from backup.
