no, but should be possible when using the same mysql database. We have no support for HA/fallback servers in the backend so far . (mysql could be configured as HA, but I have not tested that either). So, the only way to backup them is using rsync for now. Or you are willing to work on real HA support for OBS (or sponsoring it). I am happy to follow up on that with you in that case :) happy new year adrian

What config changes need to be made to run a distributed backend and what directories do all the servers need to see? I found this info

http://wiki.maemo.org/OpenSuse_Build_Service/Installation

but it seems a bit old is this still valid info? Robert Zebedee Senior Integration Engineer | Evertz Europe

I am building a backup private obs-server and would like to know the best way to keep the main and backup in sync without triggering too many rebuilds. Are the any particular tools / methods for getting this setup. My main server is currently running obs 2.3 on opensuse 12.1 and will be updated as soon as the backup is up and running and can be used whilst the main is being updated to obs 2.4 on opensuse 12.3 the same as the backup.

Any help greatly appreciated.

you setup just another api/webui on another host. As long, both use same mysql
you do not have a problem. (not api&webui is anyway merged in upcomming OBS 2.5)

it should, but not tested.

well, backend has no fail-over support at all yet. You can just rsync.

However, most critical is the source server. When you loose binaries in the
rep server, a scheduler cold start should identify that on a cold start 
and just rebuild.

> What would need to point at the cname and what could always point locally?

for the database? just config/database.yml in api/webui.

/srv/obs

You can leave out log, events, tmp, run. But on the other hand, they do not
contain much data.

All OBS files are stored in /srv/obs
+ you need backup mysql db (for obs installer it stored in /srv/MySQL(?))
+ you need backup configs from:
 * /etc/sysconfig/obs-*
 * webui and api configs: /srv/www/obs/{api,webui}/config/options*
 * /usr/lib/obs/server/BSConfig.pm
That mean that for DR you can install OBS server, restore all this files and get working server.

Maybe better do backup before update and after?;)
Also, imho, better do all backups with stopped obs daemons to be more consistent.
If you use VM, then you can just snapshot this VM.
