Development of a large-scale backup system for virtual machines. The implementation of this system reduced the cost of storing backup copies by up to 75%!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Objective:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The goal was to create an efficient backup system capable of reading data in real-time from the disks of virtual machines across several hundred servers and transferring it to a backup servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Researched<\/strong><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Used technologies:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Outcomes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This project successfully established a robust and scalable backup solution, enhancing data security and recovery capabilities across a large server network. The use of open-source tools like Restic and the ZFS file system, combined with the orchestration power of Kubernetes, resulted in a highly reliable and efficient backup system suitable for virtual machines backed by block storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The same approach was later adapted for the efficient backup of databases, demonstrating its versatility and scalability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additional links:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
