Fedora :: Looking For Backup Solution
Aug 30, 2010
I have fedora 13. Is there online based automatic backup solution that satisfy these requirements.Any file that I modify or create new in /home is automatically backup online and also encrypted on regular intervals such as 5 times a day. The backup system only uploads what was changed and not the whole file again. Any other folders that I specify are backed up in the same way as /home. /home also contains disk images of virtual operating systems. When I startup those VM and create or edit some files within VM, these should also become part of the online backup. Since these disk images are typically 20 GB in size so the online backup simply cannot upload the whole disk image over the wire on a regular basis.

Can anybody please suggest a backup-image solution for Fedora 14?I made some tests with Clonezilla: it works fine but, please correct if I am wrong, it requires booting from a Clonezilla CD and cannot be used to take an image backup while the computer is running.

I need to install a backup server in my work environment.We have a Windows 2008 server and an old DELL PowerEdge 1750 server that has no OS on it yet.I would like to install Fedora on it and then backup the Windows Server data on the Fedora server using rsync or something else to do the backups.Do you think it's a good idea ? If not what would you use to backup the Windows server data, preferably on a linux system.

I'm running Debian Squeeze on my laptop and have a large usb drive to do backups to. Any recommendations on a good backup software? I know I can do tar or rsync but I'm hoping to have a bit more complete option that keeps permissions/symlinks/etc in case a restore is needed.

i'm searching for an encrypted backup solution for dial-up users. I'm already using duply (duplicity), but it's not really the right software for a large backup and a slow connection. Every x month a new full backup is needed, and that's really slow.Is there better system for that? A file based encrypted system would be nice, so it's not needed to reupload every large file.

I'm looking for a backup solution for multiple web applications that exist in code (flat files) and an associated mysql database. I'd like the code backups to be grouped with the DB backups by name/location. I'd also like redundancy, with backups going to a local drive and a remote network drive.I'm just about done writing a bash script that does a combination of tar/gz and mysqldump per application. Once it's done, I'll throw it in a cron job, and enable/disable sites by name in the script.Before I go further down this path, does anyone recommend a solid package that already exists?

I am looking for a home back up solution. Here are the requirements Free Capability of a Full Backup at the beginning of every month Capability of either differential or incremental backups nightly Server/Client setup Must work on both Windows and Linux Need to be able to setup Policies/Backup sets Must have logging
I wouldn't mind if it supported duplication, but it is not something I need at the moment.
I would be nice if I could find a free solution similar to Symantec Netbackup.

Is there an open-source multi-tenant backup solution so I can set up a backup-server somewhere in a data centre and let multiple customers make use of it..So they have there own space and can control there own documents.

There are a lot of backup solutions, many scripts based of rsync. The problem is not a lot of them encrypt your data before syncing it. I have a USB hard drive and I want to backup my user folder /home/myuser/ to the external drive What software will allow me to create incremental backups which are encrypted with relative ease

I would like to make a server in my home that could be used to backup old job files at a print shop that I work at, creating a low cost offsite backup for our backup server. It would only backup 30-200mb a night, depending on what size the various jobs are.
There are 4 workstations that backup to a network share hosted on a fileserver(tower). It only has a single TB drive, and now people are offloading files to this server to free there computer of disk space. This is going to be a problem once the "server" disk fails. The managment there will not pay a monthly fee for 500+GB of files we prob will never need, but cant delete. I was hoping I could create some sort of "online" backup hosted at my house. ( like amazon, carbonite but without the fancy gui)
After researching a while I can't seem to come up with a great solution (partly due to my lack of networking knowledge i'm sure!). I have a pfSense router, with VPN capabilities, and the router at work (Cisco/Linksys RVS4000) also can VPN. I would like to use linux as the server, I am in the process of learning Ubuntu. Also freeNAS via FTP is another thought, might be easier?

As I checked some online backup solutions I have found information that all of this which I checked have only clients for Win or Mac. But I'm looking for solution with Linux client.As I have read some info on one of the Googled page Linux probably is ready for being an online backup solution as is.So my idea is to create automatic (in the background) backup of my files (photos and docs) with my outside hosting server. I have unlimited shared hosting server with ftp access. Is there any option to built such solution to make backup synchronisation between my Linux comp and shared hosting? What should I get to know to start with such option?

I am mainly a Windows admin, but I do *NIX administration from time to time, for now I need to use an open source solution for backup windows environment mainly, I spent last days playing with bacula and backupPC, and I then chose backupPC, I built a solution with it seems working not bad, but before i go on deeper, I thought asking geeks here better, my main experience with back was with Vertias/Symantec Backup Exec, what do you recommend as most similar backup solution in Ubuntu offer a close level (I don't backup to tapes I back to hard disks), also a gui is preferred, while backupPC do a nice work and i handled its client config file (machine_name.pl), but I still do mistakes sometimes and troubleshooting is annoying, I have to backup files from users machines some of these files are running (like PST files), and I could need to backup a database or something from time to time. so whats your opinion all?

Just installed fedora 11 and found that I need to unrar some stuff, then I realised I did not have the unrar util so I typed in as root
"yum install unrar"
and I got package not found. Is there a better util to do this now or is there just no support for unrar util anymore

I recently installed Fedora 14. Yesterday, the update tool found 367 packages to update.
Before the update, Firefox worked fine.
After the update, firefox fails on startup with a series of python errors, apparently ultimately due to the error:
ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload/selectmodule.so: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct
Any solutions to this short of reinstalling everything?

I just installed Fedora 9 for the first time and have been unable to run updates nor am I able to use the add/remove programs feature. With the system updates the error I receive is within the /urs/share/packages area. I posted this http://amahi.pastebin.com/m131ea1d2 I also receive a different error when I run the Add/Remove programs feature and I receive a similar error. I also tried running these commands from root while logged in as root -- yum clean meatadata
yum -y update but this had no change to the system. I also thought it may have been a RPMFusion issue so I looked at their FAQ and ran the command line to enable RPMFusion and it advises that this package is already installed. I am getting confused by this and not sure where to start so that I dont keep going over the same things with and getting the same results.

I understand that there are a few posts regarding this issue but for some reason I still can't get Firefox to stop freezing. And it freezes the whole machine!! I couldn't really find Firefox v 3.0.11 to download. I kept getting redirected to the newest version that doesn't work.

In F10 the boot sequence hangs just after loading anacron. I booted with interactive mode and after saying 'yes' to starting anacron I'm prompted to start 'local'. When I say yes, my system hangs.
I've seen quite a few posts regarding very similar issues that people were having. None of them seem to have a clear cut solution.
Some posts mentioned about the wrong video drivers, however I've been using the same video drivers for a couple of months now and never experienced this problem.
I looked at /etc/rc.local and all it has in it is 'touch /var/lock/sybsys/local'
I also looked at the file above and there is nothing in it.
Any ideas/solutions? Everything was working just fine the other day. so I'm completely baffled.

I currently have two hard drives. One of them is a dedicated Windows 7 x64 500gb drive. The other, is a 152gb drive that I plan to install Fedora in. When I booted from the live CD, I chose the option to use the entire 152gb disk and to boot from the 152gb disk. I'm not sure if I did something wrong there, but now, GRUB won't detect Windows 7 or Fedora 12.
I would also like to leave the Windows 7 hdd untouched.
I previously had a non-working OpenSUSE installation on the 152gb drive

I've decided to install Fedora 14 on my Late 2008 Macbook Pro (model 5,1), but when attempting to boot from the live cd, all I get is the main boot menu, then I briefly get a grey screen with a blinking white cursor, then the screen just goes black. The computer is still running, and I can still hear the cd drive, but I have no video. I've seen the tutorials for installing Fedora 14 on a 5,1 macbook pro, and I know it's been done successfully with no mention of such issues.

"Upgraded" from FC5 32 bit to Fedora 10 64 bit using Fedora Live KDE disk, and unchecking the boxes to format drives with my personal data. In the install it recognized these as SW raid devices. One is raid 1, the other raid 5.
Now, it still recognizes the raid devices, and mdstat claims they are working fine, but I cannot mount them (mount says must specify a FS type, but that doesn't work either).

I thought I should share a solution to a freeze issue I was having. Fedora 11 was running well but then started to freeze randomly when it was sitting unused. This could happen multiple times per day. I would have to power off to get it to reboot. Firefox was always open at the time of freezes and I had recently loaded several programs to try and run wmv files....Xine, GStreamer. So, I unloaded the programs. I also went into Firefox options and removed Xine as the default program for opening different types of files. The freeze issue is now cured. I have no idea how this caused the freeze and I never did get wmvs to run but at least the freeze issue seems gone.

I just installed Fedora 12 from a DVD . The process completed without incident.
I then inserted a DVD into my internal drive and nothing happened.
I then logged out and logged in again as root, and tried again-same result; nothing!
Could it have something to do with the new PolicyKit? I didn't have this problem with Fedora 11.

I installed FC10 but can not see mouse pointer (it was so also during the installation process). Mouse is working, Crtl shows pointer's position, moving over sensitive areas activates them but no pointer can be seen. The Mouser Property Tool doesn't show the part for selecting pointer themes (as given in Help). FC9 on the same computer worked ok, FC10 on other computers work ok, too.

My hard disk is a 40 gb seagate drive with 3 logical partitions - C (Win 98), D (Data), E (Win XP Home). Yesterday, I decided to format Win 98 partition and install Fedora 11 on it. I used Live USB, custom partitioned for /, /boot and swap. Installation went fine until the Add/Delete boot screen came when I got multiple Unable to mount partition errors. Then I added Win XP (which was on sda6) and restarted the system. When the system booted, I selected Win XP but it didn't do anything. It showed blank screen and then reverted to grub boot loader screen. Then I selected Fedora time and completed installation and it works fine but XP doesn't boot.
Thinking something might have gone wrong, today I reinstalled Fedora. I chose "Install over previous Linux" and this time the installation went smoothly without any errors. However it still doesn't let me boot into Win XP. It gives a "Booting into WinXP in 3/2/1 seconds" and then goes blank and keeps repeating that message.
This is the result of fdisk -l code...
