I've seen some tools available for taking image backups (amanda, bacula, ...) of the O/S. I have a nas drive and want to back up the the entire disk to it (while running preferrably). Can someone recommend what tool would be best to use (free of course) and hopefully not too complex.

After fixing network issue (change to vanilla kernel) and configuring alsa sound drivers, I realise that I may be spending some time doing some more config before putting my machine to hardcore use!
So, is it possible or can anyone recommend a program that can do an image of the hdd which I can save on an external drive and install/reinstall it on hard drive if i ever need to?
I've been tring to burn an iso image to a DVDRW using K3B and the progress has been setting a 99% for almost an hour. the iso image is only 2GIGS. why is it taking so long?
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen I was looking for a tool that analyzes iptables log files I couldn't find anything suitable for me. So I wrote a python script that does the job. Now I'd like to have some feedback (questions, comments, bugs, wishes etc.). You have to set up some things manually. You need a MySQL table for example. And if you want to have reverse DNS (can be disabled) it is greatly recommended to install pdnsd as a local dns (caching) server for better results. (easy setup). If you do, it will take some time (depending on the log size) to receive the hostnames. The tool saves the DNS hostnames, so next time an identical IP is found, the lookup will be instant. All needed options can be configured in the config file or via command line parameter. A feature overview and more detailed information is included in the tarball README and INSTALL file. [URL]
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe Ultimate Bootable CD (UBCD) is a great live CD with a host of great tools and utlilities, useful to anyone interested in making a broken system bootable again. It is a good idea to familiarise yourself with this CD by having a look through it often,so that when you need to use it you know where things are...learning the command line syntax is better but this is a very useful stop gap while that process is ongoing...
You can have a look at it from here[URL]..download [URL].. burn at 8x I use CD-RW discs to save wasting Cd's...boot the CD up using function key or BIOS set for CD/DVD as first boot device. To navigate the disc...Esc, use Ctrl Alt Delete if you get stuck,Space Bar to insert a tick,Tab to change field,arrow keys to navigate the choices.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI can barely use the live session CD of Ubuntu 11.04 because,everything gets corrupted,i cant open new windows because it starts to get horrible, like if i had a graphics problem, managed somehow to open Mozilla and write this, but its impossible to do anything else that needs to open more windows layers...
I never had this problem with ubuntu before... my graphics are intel extreme graphics 2.i cant even use the terminal because it is in few words... invisible, unless I move it but then, disappears.I can work normally using windows. Also i have ubuntu karmic live cd and works perfectly.
i feel like this is a stupid question as i have seen many different ways to make a debian live cd, but the only way i understand is remastersys.i am trying to make a snapshot of my own debian unstable (sid) to be capable of re-distribution. remastersys will ONLY work on ubuntu, lenny, and squeeze.if anyone knows of any relatively simple tools i could use or could write an easy how too that would be very much appreciated. i am attempting to stray away from ubuntu and ubuntu based distros and use debian instead, although i cant find any distribution based on debian that i really like (maybe linux mint debian edition based on debian testing), but i really want the software right out of unstable (sid) and i would like to be able to make a distribute-able snapshot for myself and others that may be interested. (xfce + compiz + others, hopefully plymouth, out of the box). i have made some very good headway on this, but i dont know how to make a live cd out of an installed system without remastersys.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter installing Ubuntu to a flash drive, and customizing it heavily, I am running out of room (8 percent remaining on a 4GB flash drive). While I could go buy another flash drive, I already have plenty of storage between a 500GB external hard drive and a DLink NAS. What I would like to do is use unionfs to mount an image (around 6GB in size) over my 4GB flash drive. When it is mounted, all file changes should be synced to the unionfs image, thus "archiving" my flash drive. I have created the 6gb image, formatted it as Ext4 (same type as my flash drive), but when I mount it (using 'unionfs-fuse /media/SG_EHDD/devices/unionfs.dev -o cow /') any changes that I make are not made on the image. I think I am missing an option, namely the -o chroot=SOME_TEXT, but when I put -o chroot=/media/SG_EHDD/devices/, it says it cannot load /media/SG_EHDD/devices//media/SG_EHDD/devices/unionfs.dev. It also gives me the same errors when I cd to /media/SG_EHDD/devices and run unionfs-fuse with ./unionfs.dev for the path to the filesystem image.
