Add Client Backup / Diaster Recovery

I've been using OMV as a data backup to a Windows Home Server using remote and local shares, Rsync, scheduling, etc., with great success.

I've found that backing up the entire configured OMV OS to a second mini SD card to be a snap. Since I've been using a Raspberry PI, even having another Raspberry PI ($29.00) as a cold shelf spare is a low cost breeze. With this sort of redundancy, the chance of a unrecoverable disaster is very remote, which provides peace of mind.

In any case:
Since all I'm really interested in is preserving server data and Client backup and recovery, I'd love to take OVM a step further and eliminate the Windows Home Server altogether. With that in mind, has anyone given thought to another plugin for bare metal client disaster recovery?
I've been looking at UrBackup which is open source, and they they seem to have client and server installations that are native to Windows and Linux on both ends (client and server). The also have a recovery CD for bare metal restores. (Currently, I'm in the process of testing Client / Server scenarios with Virtual Box.)

Has anyone given thought to this possibility?

Many thanks for OMV. It's a fine product.
Regards

((For a moderator:
Would there be any interest in a guide for setting up simple data replication between OMV and a Windows Server? I have a good number of details worked out that could serve a SOHO or home network very well.))

After looking over UrBackup, I found that they have a Debian ARM install for the PI, on the server side of things.
https://www.urbackup.org/download.html#server_debian
The User / Admin interface is a Web page and port 55414, not unlike some of the other OMV plug-ins.

From a second copy of my SD OMV card, I attempted to install UrBackup from the command line. (On a PI, using SD cards, a full OMV backup / duplicate is a snap.) I couldn't get the install to complete but I have to write that off to a lack of experience.
I don't have a lot of Linux experience so when I got an install error message, I didn't know how to compensate.

From appearances, UrBackup seems to be more complete and have better support from the maintaining organization, when compared to Relax and Recover (REAR). I'd follow up further but I simply don't have the expertise. (Hint, Hint.)

((On a side note, the directory for storing UrBackup client backups would need to be scripted to default to a location other than the media where OMV resides. This is part of the install.))

Zitat von ryecoaaron

Not sure why but I just made a urbackup-server plugin

Just make sure to set Backup storage path in Settings in the urbackup web interface.

Thanks ryecoaaron!

I was pleasantly surprised when Ichecked back on the forum and found that you "plugged"UrBackup into OMV.

Unfortunately, being a noob and all that, Ican't find the plugin. (And I have OMV-Extras.org and OMV-Extras.orgTesting enabled.) I'm using a Rasp PI build (2.2.11 Stoneburner for the ARMv7). Could that be reason?

Along other lines - it appears that this got a lot of attention so, um, sorry 'bout that. (It couldn't have done anything for your time management.) I do, however, sincerely appreciate your efforts.
