2.2. Backup policy

An internal backup program, nbackup, backs up a lot of directories (daily, rotated weekly), esp. under /srv/. For more details, see scheduled job named 'cronjob 6: nbackup' in the relevant section. The nightly backups are stored in /srv/backup/a/. They must be manually moved from this directory to clarinvm.ics.muni.cz.

3. Required connectivity (firewall)

3.1. Current status

3.1.1. External firewalls

None.

3.1.2. Internal firewall

See /etc/shorewall/rules.

4. Scheduled jobs

There are numerous important crontobs running under uids for root and www-data. A utility called cronjobber manages this and stores cron job output/state under /srv/cronjobs_state/. Issue e.g. sudo -u www-data crontab -u to view the current status.
