==Introduction==
The Fedora ARM Project is a highly active R & D project. Because of the rapid change, the project required some specific backup strategies to be implemented on top of regular backup strategies.
In the event of an emergency, this document should provide enough information to re-create a similar management platform that will keep the project running.
==Background==
Like all Fedora projects, the ARM Project has a small yet active global community. The build firm is located in Ontario, Canada. Infrastructure support for the build firm is provided by the Seneca Center for Development and Technology at Seneca College in Toronto. The number of available ARM builders in the firm can vary. The builders are not backed up as those are easily recreated from available images.
As for the management servers, there are four five major ones that are critical to this operation. For a complete list of servers and the services those offer please consult the necessary documents. These four servers are Australia (Koji builders temporary work storage), Chile (The complete ARM repository), Hongkong (Koji hub and web interface), Iraq (Central backup management and storage) and Ireland (Koji database). ==Description== The backup system has been broken into two custom scripts. First one is to create local copy of the configurations and to back up the repository to removable drives, it is called blaze. The second script is called wildfire and it is to synchronize those local copies to different locations over the network.
