Hello everyone!
My manager just brought to my attention that this organization has a CentOS 6.3 server - he didn’t specify what it’s hosting just yet but asked that I find a solution to do a full backup so that we may restore later onto bare metal with the option to migrate from CentOS to another Linux distro.
Has anyone had experience with backing up / restoring CentOS 6? And if you know what would be the best Linux distro to replace CentOS 6? Or even a step by step guide for both or either one?
Please and thanks in advance!
I just barely joined the organization, so I’m not entirely sure what’s in our environment/infrastructure. First task given to me is to find a full image back up solution. My assumption is that we wants to move off of CentOS for obvious reasons and move onto a new Linux distro. I haven’t spoken with my manager just yet to get a better idea as to what the end game is. Hopefully today I’ll get the full scope. I can’t imagine we’d want to continue using CentOS.
