"Storinator" as business backup solution

[cbrherms]

Hey all!

 

So, i'm currently trying to put together plans for our summer build and upgrade for the server room at work but struggling for a couple of ideas when it comes down to a fully functional backup solution.

 

I'm considering building 2 x Storinators, using the "enhanced" version that 45 drives does, and filling it with 18 5TB drives in RaidZ2+0 (3 pools of 6 drives in freenas).

 

Now.... On to the actual backup software. I've been considering setting up a headless crashplan jail to use it as a backup destination, but wondering if anyone has any other ideas?

Ideally, i'll be backing up both system and data partitions from some servers/other NAS's, as well as documents from staff workstations (both windows and OSX).

 

So, does anyone have any examples of backup software that would work well in this scenario?

Veeam Endpoint Backup Free is good but may not do the NAS's. Windows Backup to an iSCSI mounted disk also works well, used that type of setup at my previous job to backup servers for clients, about 1400 schools but some also used Veeam Backup & Replication if they could afford it.

 

Current job I use Commvault but I suspect you are wanting something cheaper than that.

I've just realised i forgot to include some further information:

 

The servers i'll be backing up will be a mixture of windows server 2003-2012, linux servers, and mac servers, along with 2 freenas servers.

 

Cheers for that though leadeater, I shall look in to those options

Veeam endpoint looks pretty good, especially the windows client. 

Not seen as much info but apparently a Linux client too which could work for the new web server. 

I could set up a time machine backup share for osx boxes, and just rsync the other FreeNAS servers....

Feasible. 

Looking in to the free version of Veeam ONE. Only briefly browsed but looks like it doesn't monitor client backups.

For windows/windows server id use the built in backup and a smb/samba share

 

For linux/mac os x/freebsd id use a rsync script(google it) and a nfs/samba.smb share
