WGNHS - Backups (Synology)

Created by MICHAEL JUSZCZYK

Notes

  • Windows client agents can be pushed via bigfix "DS - Deploy - Synology Active Backup for Business Windows Client 2.7.0 (WGNHS ONLY)"
    • Currently we have windows agent backups for WGS-CUTBANK 
    • ABB agent updates can be initiated from console on GREENLAND
  • Web interfaces for greenland and iceland are accessible from DS internal network and WGNHS local network.
  • All vmware VM's and a few windows client backups are backed up with synology backup for business.  Backups are taken daily on greenland and replicated daily to iceland via snapshot replication.  Snapshots on iceland have an immutability period of 12 days.
  • ProxMox Backup server datastore uses PBS directory via NFS and is replicated to Iceland daily.
  • vCenter saves config backups in the vCenterConfig directory and is replicated to Iceland daily.
  • Server Role Hardware Location Authentication
    greenland.wgnhs.wisc.edu Primary backup
    Synology RS2423+
    		 WGNHS server room local creds in wgnhs keepass
    iceland.wgnhs.wisc.edu Replication target
    Synology RS2423+
    		 Colo (doit datacenter team) local creds in wgnhs keepass

    Whenever VM's are moved, created, removed, etc you should make sure to adjust backup jobs on GREENLAND accordingly.  Orphaned VM's in ABB will be removed per retention policy, no need to delete them manually.
