[edit] 7 days Backup of NZSSDS data

[edit] Backup pattern:

  • Sunday, 1am - Full Data Backup (C:\Nesstar-Server-3.50\mysql\data of NZSSDS Server)
  • Monday-Saturday, 2am - Incremental Data Backup (backing up only updated files from previous backup)

[edit] Storage:

  • All backup files reside on the BeSTGRID DataStorage Server in /data/ssdash/Backup folder
  • This folder is mounted as Samba share on NZSSDS Server as Y:\Backup disk

[edit] Problem:

MS Windows disconnects mounted network disks after 15 minutes inactivity. If scheduled backup job starts when network drive is disconnected then job doesn't run at all. To fix that problem a script runs every day at 1am (before any backup job starts) to reconnect network drive to the server. This script resides in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\wakeup.bat file: 

net use y: /delete
net use y: \\data.bestgrid.org\ssdash
