New to Ubuntu (and Linux in general) and have whipped up a quick python script to backup my files and do some other housekeeping. I don't see any service scheduling tools and was wondering what the best way to do this is.

i have installed on my home PC CentOS 5.5, and downloaded Python 3.1.3 source, when I have tried to run the configuration file I have got
checking for --enable-universalsdk... no
checking for --with-universal-archs... 32-bit

I have tried downloading gcc and installing it, but got the same message. So, I can't find any C compiler, and I can't install one.
I'm unable to configure the apache2 with python support. I have done the configuration in the following method, but unable to start the python cgi support: I have installed the libapache2-mod-python it has installed python.load in the mods-available directory.

in ubuntu 10.10, I have installed python 2.7. I would like to use apt-get to install packages to this version of python but I haven't been able to figure out howThings I have tried without success:changing the symlink at /usr/bin/python to point to /usr/bin/python2.7 - even after doing this apt-get still installs stuff to python2.6.Set up python2.7 as the primary alternative using update-alternatives - doesn't work

I scp stuff from my mac to it quite a lot over my local wireless network.At the moment, it holds a .sparsebundle backup of my mac created by SuperDuper! (mac backup application) that I periodically transfer over. I'd like to make this system a little more sophisticated and use Apple's Time Machine to automatically backup to my Ubuntu box if possible.
Anyone have any experience of this? I'm kinda hoping for something a bit more straight forward than this: http:[url]....
I have been a windows user for a very very long time, and recently switched to debian. I have so to speak crapped all over my system failing to compile sourcecode properly held broken repos and what not.
So decided to reinstall debian last night, now I have a rather clean fresh installed copy. As I'm a new user to linux, I want to setup a backup system so I can revert to a clean fresh installation when I muck up my system.
Now I have downloaded and installed BackupPC with needed libraries and sitting here trying to configure it on my computer. I have followed this guide: [URL] ....
I have come to this section here:
**********************
Server SSH KEY Creation and Deployment:
3. Deploy Key To Client Machine
Copy id_rsa.pub to client machine
backuppc@server$ scp /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa.pub sudo-user@<client machine>:/home/sudo-user/backuppc.id_ras.pub
backuppc@server$ ssh sudo-user@<client machine>
sudo-user@client$ chmod 600 backuppc.id_ras.pub
sudo-user@client$ sudo mkdir /root/.ssh
sudo-user@client$ sudo chmod 700 /root/.ssh
sudo-user@client$ sudo mv backuppc.id_ras.pub /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
sudo-user@client$ sudo chown root:root /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
********************************************************************
Now I'm not quite sure what to do here as I have no networked computers to deploy to only one machine. Although I want to make a local system backup and upload that to a server I have access to, but would that server be seen as a backuppc server/client?
On this computer here I have generated the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub located in /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh
looking at this part:
Test ssh connection(On server, as Linux user backuppc)
backuppc@server$ ssh root@<client machine>
How should I interpret @<client machine> should that to be ssh root@127.0.0.1 ?
I am trying to create a backup script that will back up a single folder for a class i am in. I was wandering if I could get some help. If possible I would also like to know how to write a script that can encrypt that same file . I will be putting the back up in my /home/usr/Backup directory. I am not trying to back up my whole system just a single folder. I am using Fedora 11

The question I have is about where would be the typical location to auto mount this partition? Which would it be normal to go for:
1. /backup/
2. /media/backup/
3. /mnt/backup/
4. /home/chris/backup/

I have a scheduled backup to run on our server at work and since the 7/12/09 it has be making 592k files instead of 10Mb files, In mysql-admin (the GUI tool) I have a stored connection for the user 'backup', the user has select and lock rights on the databases being backed up. I have a backup profile called 'backup_regular' and in the third tab along its scheduled to backup at 2 in the morning every week day. If I look at one of the small backup files generated I see the following:
Code:
-- MySQL Administrator dump 1.4

-- Server version`

It seems that MySQL can open and write to the file fine, it just can't dump
I've tried to google but not much luck. What I would like to do is have anumber of folders on my desktop and their contents, replicated/duplicated into another folder on the same PC in real time. So for example, if I were to change an OpenOffice document in a specific folder on my Desktop it would be replicated/duplicated in real time. If I had three folders on my Desktop A, B and C they would also appear/be backed up (in real time) in a folder called /home/backup. Can this be done?

On Ubuntu 9.10 I installed Python 3.1.1 successfully with Synaptic Package Manager. However the Python interpreter cannot find my scripts, currently in /home/dave/pycode. This appends _temporarily_ but python remains clueless about location of my scripts. Searched Internet and some speak of .rc or .bashrc or .profile..files. Found some of these and opened with Komodo : they are Linux script files and I am clueless as to how to modify.Currently I can import my scripts only if I change to the /pycode dir before running.Lutz's Python book says to change PATH file - Ha .Sobell's "A practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux" is no help. Ubuntu's own on line help is worth less than a fart in a hurricane. Ubuntu's gedit would not even open bash.bashrc.

View 12 Replies View RelatedAfter I spent some time discovering The BIG BANG of Universe and The Meaning of Life :
I managed somehow to create a script to make some backup of files on server and TAR it and then FTP the archive to another location FTP server and then emails result.
It also measures time needed to complete it and deletes archive older than XX days (set in find -mtime +20) and makes incremental backup every weekday and FULL on Sundays (which suits me bcoz no heavy load).
Files for TAR to include and exclude are in txt files listed each line separate name:
file: including.txt:
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
