I am going to use 'rsnapshot' to create backups of my local & remote computers. My intension is that I can use these backups to restore disk images when needed -> install Linux from scratch and then copy the subdirectories from 'rsnapshot' backup to the new Linux installation.My question is what subdirectories should be excluded in the backup.
View 6 RepliesThis should be a quick one. I'm trying to backup a single directory and it's subdirectories on my Lucid Server to a freenas box across my network. This is what I'm using to do that..
rsync -r -a -v -z * --delete freenas:dSIBackups It almost works perfectly except for one problem. When a file is deleted at the source, this command doesn't seem to delete it on the receiving end. I assumed that the --delete would do that but aparently not. Can anyone think of a reason that this would happen?
This question is very similar to this one except that I want to maintain the file's original subdirectories.
For example if I had
/temp/a/a.txt
/temp/a/a.jpg
/temp/a/b.txt
/temp/b/c.txt
/temp/d/d.txt
/temp/d/d.jpg
/temp/d/e.txt
/temp/f.txt

I set up a Debian box with Apache and everything works fine, but when trying to access files in a subdirectory, I get a 403 error. The error log shows the following:
Code:
(13)Permission denied: /var/www/site/images/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
I tried adding a <Directory> entry in the conf file for the site and even tried adding (with +r for all) an .htaccess file (.htaccess is not specified in the conf file and the root directory doesn't have one either), but nothing works.

I am trying to install the RPMForge Repository. I am following the instructions at : [URL]. After installing yum-priorities and *before* adding the RPMForge repository -
I went into /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
and added priority=1 to [extras] [updates] and [addons].
Then, when I run 'yum check-update' it says there are packages being excluded. I would have thought that before I had installed the 3rd party repo - that nothing should be excluded? Especially with everything set to the same priority. On a side note - this is a Xen VPS that we are renting... and the providors have commented out the [base] section (#[base])... I'm assuming this is is OK and is for my own protection.
This script simply deletes files older than a certain age (in this case 7 days) from a certain location; I use it to purge old backups nightly, and it works as expected:
# delete backups older than 7 days
find /mnt/backup/* -mtime +7 -exec rm -Rf {} ;
The problem is, every morning I get an email with an error message something like this:
find: `/mnt/backup/subfolder': No such file or directory
I am now preparing myself to upgrade lenny to squeeze and decided to do a backup on my system. I used backup-manager to do the job and it worked fine. how do you restore said backup data?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAs much as I didn't want to ask a sed question, especially considering there's already one on this page I've looked as best I could and cant find the solution. Id like to use sed to replace occurrences of a pattern but exclude two or 3 specific lines that are not consecutive. For example I know with 1,10 i could exclude the first 10 lines, what is the syntax if I just wanted to exclude line 3 and 7. The sed command I'm working with right now is for rearranging Ethernets.
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | sed -e '/'"$found1fullmac"'/!s/eth1/'"found1eth"'/' > /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
I would like to replace $found1fullmac with two variables representing line numbers to exclude from the replacement.
I am attempting to use the zip command with the '-x' option to exclude a folder e.g. 'zip upload.zip public_html -x public_html/jquery/*'. However, parts of this folder are still being added to the archive. I made a shell script (saved as 'compress.sh' and ran as '. compress.sh') to do the archiving so I could test adding nested wildards for multiple subfolder levels.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
rm -f upload.zip
zip -r upload.zip public_html
-x public_html/jquery
[code]....
Each new line I added here that has the nested wildcards made the archive file size a bit smaller. Adding more /*'s than this didn't affect the file size. Even after all this though, there were still a couple megabytes of files and folders from the 'jquery' directory that were added to the archive.
Here's some examples of files and folders that were created after I unzipped the archive:
public_html/jquery/js/tablesorter/addons/pager/icons [folder]
public_html/jquery/js/tablesorter/addons/pager/.svn/entries [file]
public_html/jquery/js/tablesorter/build/.svn/text-base/js.jar.svn-base [file]
Why is it that despite all the -x lines, the files and folders like these were still being added to the archive? How can I simply recursively exclude the entire public_html/jquery folder from the archive?
So Im using CentOS 5, trying to install phpmyadmin for my server. Ive done it before but had to re-image my server because of some networking issues. This time when I go to do it I add two more repositories and go through and give all the appropriate ( I believed ) priorities. When I try to install phpmyadmin, I am getting messages that I need php5.2. When I try to install the dependencies, I get the message that i have "427 packages excluded due to repository priority restrictions." How do I fix this?
[URL] This is the guide I used to install phpmyadmin. I installed all the pre-reqs and Ive double and triple checked them all . . . . Ive also installed another repository, utterramblings. All to no avail. If code from the config files are needed I can pull them
I looked through google but can't find an answer for this..... say I have a directory called "files"; this directory contains several other directories..... what I wanna do is delete ALL the files within the subdirectories, but NOT delete the subdirectory. Can this be done easily without having to run a command for each subdirectory?

Is there an easy way to create all subdirectories of a path in linux ?

When I installed a new copy of my distro on another partition, in order to preserve all the settings from my old my user account, I made a user account with the same name on the new installation, and then copied my old user account's files (in their entirety) to the new user account, overwriting it. I did the copying from the root account (where else? I assume the new user account can't overwrite itself while it's open), and root became the owner of everything I copied, making it impossible to open the new user account. So I then chowned the new user account's folder to myself. I still can't get in, because apparently, chown only chowned the top folder, leaving all subdirectories owned by root. How do I make chown include all subdirectories? I scanned the man page, but didn't see a parameter.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo, let's say there was a website www.qwerty.com, which is completely appropriate if not necessary except for the asdfg subfolder (www.qwerty.com/asdfg), which contains,say, pornographic material I want blocked. Is there any way to block "asdfg" without blocking the entire domain (www.qwerty.com)? I already tried editing my hosts file, but apparently that only works for whole domains.Also, while we're at it, can the hosts file be used to actually block IP addresses, or just domain names (so if I wanted qwerty.com with IP of 128.127.126.125 to be completely blocked, but know my family or employees are little smarter than that, I could add the line "0.0.0.0 128.127.126.125" to prevent all access to that website)?

How can I remove all .swp files in all of my subdirectories under Linux?
View 4 Replies View Relatedi currently have hundreds of files all in a single directory. What I would like to do is create 8 subdirectories and move the files into the subdirectories based on the first character of the file name. Ideally, the script would omit any 'the' or 'a' and use the second word for filing purposes. No filenames have spaces. Instead they use periodsThe subdirectories will be:
0-9
a-d
e-h

View 6 Replies View RelatedI figured I'd try out the Ubuntu Minimal install; I liked the concept of minimal distros like Arch-Linux (with a what-you-need-is-what-you-get type of system), but I really liked the community and general support of Ubuntu. Anyway, everything went fine after I got GRUB working properly, up to the point when I found that there were no subdirectories in my user's folder (Templates, Documents, Videos, etc).
I just decided to create the folders I needed. However, there were two issues I came across when doing this: The items in the 'Templates' folder don't show up in the context menu like they should More importantly, the icons for each folder would have to be manually changed for every new icon theme (if I wanted to use a new icon theme, I would have to navigate to the theme's folder every time for each icon I wanted changed) I'm not too concerned with the templates at the moment, but I was wondering how I would make these icons dependent on the current icon theme. Is there some package I missed installing?
By the way, if it makes a difference, I'm trying to set up the default Humanity icon set (well, not default for me, since I'm using Ubuntu Minimal). Also, sorry if this question has been posted before (or if I find the solution immediately after posting, which almost always happens to me), I didn't know exactly what to search for...
