Rosetta NFS-Shares will be backed up using a backup proxy server that can mount the shares in read-only mode and copy their contents using IBMSP.
== Status
// Status: Proposed -> Accepted -> Superseded
// -> Declined
Accepted
== Context
// Reasons and constraints that led to the decision
Severs in a Rosetta cluster share some NFS shares (among others, these are /operational_shared, /operational_storage und /deposit_storage). In production use, redundant backups would be created if these shares would be backed up from each server individually using the IBMSP client.
== Consequenzes
// What follows from the decision?
Duplicate backups will be prevented without having to use storage-side deduplication, which would create additional server load. Also, the Rosetta servers will not have to perform the backups themselves, reducing their load as well. Backup creation can be monitored easier and the backup proxy server itself can easily be backed up as well and reinstalled in case of a disaster just using the Ansible role.
