Unitrends on CloudatCost?

I would not have any type of disaster recovery server on C@C servers at this point. We have seen downtime almost weekly.
I'm thinking more as a replication source than anything.

I definitely agree. Not as a primary backup location!

Well my first thought is that Unitrends, I believe, only can run on CentOS 5 (hence no Pertino on there yet) and CloudatCost is CentOS 6 and 7 only. So that rules that concept out, I think.
Pretty sure mine is running CentOS 6.5
But yeah it's not really possible -

But yeah it's not really possibleI doubt it. Mine is fully up-to-date and still on CentOS 5.

Same here. But it could easily be different generations of installs.

I didn't list all the install.log but it's definetly. CentOS 6. The Packages even have EL6 and EL6_5 in some of them.

Hmmm...odd...I'm on the latest release...

Did you miss my point about the age of the install? Even if they moved up to CentOS 6... how would your older install have gotten updated?

I would think they'd push out an update to update the core OS files too, or change the repos or something.

That's not how CentOS works. That would just stop updates. They would have to write a massive OS updating system to handle this. CentOS didn't have that between CentOS 5 and CentOS 6. So what you are asking of them, while not crazy, is extreme. It's not something that they can "just do". They'd have to make this a major focus of development.

Ok, I'd think it'd be a simple thing to add the CentOS 6 repos, run a yum update, and allow the packages to update. What makes it not that simple?

That it does nothing. A CentOS 5 system, pointed to CentOS 6 repos will simply see the as not applying. You can't change your OS version using YUM.

Maybe you are thinking of Minor release updates, not major release.

Yeah, must be.
