Backup Design
May First/People Link operates both onsite and offsite backup servers. In each colocation center, all servers copy their data to the onsite backup and the offsite backup on a nightly basis. The backup is run via backupninja and configured via puppet.
Onsite backup servers
Telehouse
In telehouse, we have the physical server barron, which runs the virtual guest iz. Iz provides the primary onsite backpu in Telehouse. We also have a legacy onsite backup servers robideau and blanco.
XO
In XO, all servers backup to luisa.mayfirst.org.
Offsite backup servers
Our offsite backup servers are designed to be placed behind nat'ed firewalls. They have a runit service that connects them to a server with a static IP address and creates an ssh proxy.
