Feb 21, 2011How to create a cron file that will regularly perform the following backups:
a. Performs a level 0 backup once per month
b. Performs a level 2 dump one day per week
c. Performs a level 5 dump every day that neither a level 0 nor a level 2 dump is performed.
In the worst case, how many restores would you have to perform to recover a file that was dumped using this schedule.
General :: Perform Root Level Tasks While In GUI?
Oct 5, 2010There must be a way to perform privileged tasks in the Gnome desktop (or actually Nautilus, I guess)...similar to using SUDO in a terminal window.
For example I want to change the rights to a file, but Nautilus tells me I can't because I'm not the owner.
Debian :: What Is The Best Way To Perform A Backup / File Transfer
Jan 21, 2010I have a couple of Lenny LAMP servers, and a backup server. (virtual testing environment)
1. What is the best way to perform a backup? (system state as well as individual files) Although system state can also be accomplished through the hypervisor.
2. Between Windows computers, I access shared directories simply by \hostnamesharedmap or \host_IPsharedmap. Between Windows and linux i use SAMBA. But there must be a simple way to copy 2 files between linux hosts?
3. I've searched a lot, and only found people with the same question without a good answer: is there a linux equivalent for robocopy?
General :: How To Perform Root Level Commands - Fedora - Live Media

Ubuntu :: Create Text File Which Lists Sales - Bash Script Shows Total Sales Of Each Month?
Mar 8, 2011Firstly i'd like to introduce myself before I ask my question, i am currently studying a "Network Operating System 2" course, and in the syllabus the professor decided to use Ubuntu Linux for us. This is a first for me and I am truly greatly interested in the OS. It seems like a solid system once you get to know the deep foundations of it. The professor has already given us an assignment, but I feel its not fair as its just a bit too much from out of what he taught us .. He did not teach us what he is asking for. He asked us to create to a text file which lists the Sales from two Salespersons, and each one will have an amount for each month .. So 12 entries for each salesperson.
Using that text file, we should write a bash script which would read the values from the above text file, and produce a "Monthly Sales" text file, which shows the total sales of each month (combined from both the salespersons). I would like to ask for some guidance, some help on how to start. It's just that he didn't teach us any commands about this matter.

General :: DB Backup With Cron From Sh Script?
Jun 8, 2009Maybe this is a MySQL question, maybe not...
I've written a shell script to back up a database.
But when I run it, it prompts for password even though the script provides it. If I'm doing this manually, it's not a problem, but I want to make a cron job to do it...
Here's the script: Quote: #!/bin/bash
set -xv
#First let's rotate the backup files...
/bin/mv /home/cabazio/someDB-3.tar.gz /home/some/someDB-4.tar.gz

Debian :: NTFS Backup - Create Ever Expanding (to 320Gb) TAR File That Will Retain All Original File Permissions
Sep 20, 2015I want to back up an entire Linux system on a 3Tb external Western DIgital USB3 drive.
I do not want to reformat it from what it is, apparemtly NTFS.
Is there a utility that can act like a file manager like mc, that will permit me to create an ever expanding (to 320Gb) TAR file that will retain all the original file permissions. I have had nothing but disappointment with Linux backup utils with a FAT32 external drive, and I am concerned if I just try an tar the entire drive at once, with around 3 million files, I might run out of memory.
Ubuntu :: How To Perform A Full-drive Backup
Jun 3, 2011I am a backup noob. My idea of backing something up is finding a big enough flash drive and copying the necessary files over.
So I really need to learn now. I'm wiping a Vista laptop for a friend to install Windows 7. But first, I want to do a whole-drive backup in case something goes wrong. It's a 100GB drive with 50GB of data.
Is it possible that I could do this via my home network or via a direct ethernet connection? I have a desktop with a 1TB drive I could back up to. Like I say, I'm a noob so I'm open to anything.
One more thing: I'd like this backup to be in a form that I can retrieve individual files from it if necessary. If everything goes right, I'll probably want to pull My Documents out of the backup and drop it into Windows 7.
Oh, and why am I asking on UbuntuForums instead of a Windows forum? Because I'm betting I'll end up booting a live CD on the laptop to do the backup. But I'm just guessing. At any rate, I'm sure I'll use Ubuntu tools, because that's what I know.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Traffic Monitor - How Much Data Downloaded/uploaded On An Interface This Month And Previous Month
Nov 20, 2010I'm looking for a powerful network traffic monitor that can do all of the following (or at least a combination of tools that can do the following):
Tell me how much data was downloaded/uploaded on an interface this month and the previous month tell me how the traffic was used throughout the monthshow which internal IPs (IPs in the 192.168.1.0/24 network) used how much traffic show which ports/protocols on those IPs used all that traffic
Hhow LIVE traffic flow statistics that can tell me total speed of traffic going through an interface as well asshow which internal IPs (IPs in the 192.168.1.0/24 network) are using how much of the traffic show which ports/protocols on those IPs are using that traffic
This tool will run on a linux router through which all my internal PCs are connected to the Internet. This means the tool(s) need to work with NAT (traffic being forwarded and not necessarily destined for the interfaced being monitored).
The distribution being run doesn't have a package manager so any packages or dependencies have to be manually compiled and SCPed over file by file. For this reason, the tool/tools need to be simple (things like vnstat, not things like ntop that have their own web interface).
I know that vnstat can tell me the first bullet point so it's only there incase there's a tool out there that can do everything. If there's a tool that can only do the second or third bullet point, that's great too - I'll just keep using vnstat and look for something else to do the other task.

Ubuntu :: Simple Cron Job Backup ?
May 4, 2010i am very sorry if this has been asked before... i'm sure it has.. but i have searched all over the net looking for an answer and i still cant find it...
I have a really simple cron job script like this:
When i run this manually it works fine but when i run it from my ROOT user in Plesk as a cron task is always creates a file that is just 45 bytes. Why doesn't it work... I am running it as a root user.. so surely i must have permission to access the file?
General :: Kernel-kits That Allow To Create A Livecd Backup
Jul 5, 2010In doing my kernel-kits that allow you to create a livecd backup of your installed slackware or arch install, I came across stuff about how many x86 or x86_64 systems use a PAE kernel?
if thats so; should I release a PAE kernel kit also besides the x86 and x86_64 kernel kits for slackware/arch??
or is it not a big thing?

General :: Create An Image Of Hdd And Store On Another Computer As A Backup?
Dec 7, 2010I Acer aspire 3620 and would like to backup whole system. My laptop has a 40Gig hdd. Is there a way I can either create an image or copy(clone) to another computer just in case I need it. If it matters I have a spare 40 gig drive on the other computer. The reason for doing this is so that I can try a system restore and if anything goes wrong I want to be able to transfer back. Also if it is posible how could I put it back and be bootable.

Thank you in advance for the help.

Server :: Directory Backup Cron Script?
Oct 24, 2009What's a good cron script for backing up and zipping a directory of files, or multiple directories with files, to a backup directory on my server, on a daily basis?I found an easy to use mysql backup script, now I need to backup my site directory, but not all the directories in it. So I need a method in the script to omit certain directories from backing up, ie dirs that contain gigs worth of files.This seems like it should be one of the most common crons to set a server up with but two pages deep in google (and here) I have yet to find anything remotely resembling a solution.

Jul 22, 2010I'm trying to create backup/archive my Ubuntu 10.04 system files (so I can restore it in case my system get corrupted). More specifically, I'm trying to zip the important files in my root directory not including my home directory (which includes my documents which I backup separately/more frequently) to an external hard drive attached via USB (called 'My Book').
Since File Roller didn't give me quite the level of control I was looking for, I created a script that I could execute to backup and archive regularly. Here's a snippet:
cd /media/"My Book"/"Linux Backups"
NOW=$(date +"%b-%d-%y")
LOGFILE=Backup_Root_FileSystem-$NOW.log
sudo zip -r -T -v Backup_Root_FileSystem-$NOW / -x /media/'My Book'* /media* /proc* /sys* /mnt* /dev* /cdrom* /home* /'lost+found'* | tee -a $LOGFILE

General :: Create A Backup Schedule For Client Computers And Servers?
Sep 20, 2010I did a search and came up with many different opinions and suggestions, and I could not find any similar threads for this (if there is I must apoligize in advance and did not look hard enough). I am trying to create a backup schedule for client computers and servers; and I would like your opinion on what I came up with. Here is network infrastrusture setup:
16 client computers
6 serevrs
- Primary and Secondary Web Server (RAID 1)
- Primary and Secondary Domain Controller (RAID 1)
- File/Print Server (RAID 5)
- Backup Server (RAID 1) with USB 2.0 1TB External Drive
Of course I will evetually upgrade to Tape Drives, but I am saving up for that. Anyways I want to backup ALL client computers, Primary Web and DC server, and File/Print Server. This will be done (of course) on the Backup Server) Here is the schedule:
