[05:20] <Tobias92> Hi - I'm trying to run an Ubuntu cloud image using Qemu. I have set up cloud.txt, created cloud.img, and from the qemu output it looks like my user is set up and the authorized_keys file is initialized with my pubkey. Problem is, I can't seem to log in with it. When I tell Qemu to set up a port forward, the SSH port appears open, but no SSH-server is responding (no banner in netcat). I also tried setting up a tap device, and I get a
[05:20] <Tobias92> response from SSH then, but no luck logging in (key is rejected).
[10:41] <albech> i previously have written our own backup scripts based on rsync, but is looking for a more maintainable way of backing up a large number of VMs. Any recommendations?
[10:56] <andol> albech: Part of a more maintainable solution might be not having to backup some/most/all of the VMs at all. That is, having a setup in place which allows you to automatically redeploy your VMs. Then you can instead focus on backuping up just the data.
[10:58] <albech> andol: yes thats what we are doing now.. we backup data and configuration
[10:58] <albech> been looking at bacula, but not convinced yet
[11:00] <albech> I live the deamon concept however..
[11:00] <albech> like*
[11:09] <andol> albech: Ah, sorry about making assumptions.
[11:09] <andol> albech: But yeah, I think something along the lines of bacula is what you want to get it a bit more structured, with a bit more overview.
[11:10] <andol> Regarding Bacula, also looked at the Bareos fork?
[11:10] <andol> BackupPC might also be an alternative?
[11:10] <albech> cheers exactly the kind of recommendations i am looking for
[11:25] <albech> andol: thanks for pointing me to Bareos.. Don't really want to waste time on a semi abandoned project.
[13:20] <Shawn|i7-720QM> good night(although its morning)
[20:45] <apb1963> albech, you could always ask in ##backup and see if anyone knows anything.
