I have to sit down with my manager to get the full scope of work. I assume we would do a backup of the existing machine as a fallback. Then create another back up that would strictly be data and config to then restore onto a new Linux distro. But that’s purely conjecture at this time.
Thank you for the suggestion! I think the goal is to have a system as in image backup. But possibly to also back up the data and configuration to then restore that onto a new Linux distro. This is an assumption of course and I hope that is the case. I think my manager had been falling behind on updates/upgrades/back ups with some of the servers and now coming on board this will be my task(s) to handle.
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.
Well that’s stupid. Getting negative reviews is also a good thing. It allows you to re-evaluate your product(s). Pretty much you’re going to sell a half assed product, pretending it’s amazing because you refused to take critically-negative feedback from your paying customers. Guess they just want to completely obliterate their company.
