Ubuntu :: Back In Time To Backup Home Directory To A Second Hdd That Is Mounted At /media/backup?
May 18, 2010using Back In Time to backup my home directory to a second hdd that is mounted at /media/backupThe trouble is, I can do this using Back In Time (Root), but not using Back In Time without the root option. This is definitely a permissions issue - it can't write to the folder, but when I checked by right clicking on the backup directory and looking at the permission tab, it said I was the owner

Jan 15, 2010After 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:

Debian :: Backup Purge Script - `/mnt/backup/subfolder': No Such File Or Directory
Nov 10, 2010This 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
Ubuntu Servers :: Mysql-admin Won't Schedule Backup But Will Manual Backup
Jan 19, 2010I 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
Ubuntu :: Real Time Backup In A Folder Called /home/backup?
Feb 2, 2011I'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?

Software :: Backup A Few Servers And A Bunch Of Desktops Onto One Backup Server?
May 10, 2010Does anyone know of any decent enterprise level backup solutions for Linux? I need to backup a few servers and a bunch of desktops onto one backup server. Using rsync/tar.gz won't cut it. I need like bi-monthly full HDD backups, and things such as that, with a nice GUI interface to add/remove systems from the backup list. I need basically something similar to CommVault or Veritas. Veritas I've used before but it has its issues, such as leaving 30GB cache files. CommVault, I have no idea how much it is, and if it supports backing up to a hard drive rather than tape.

Oct 14, 2010I know how to backup a filesystem with tar and restore it later, but i'd like to know how to do that with a remote system. I'm really terrible at all command piping stuff and i can't simply adapt the tutorials to my needs. What i'd like to do is to login as root@remotemachine and issue a tar command on the entire / directory that would save the resulting archive to my local machine. And then i'd like to do it backwards (restore). I've seen some commands on the net ... something like:
ssh -something root@remotemachine "cd /; tar -cpf - ." | tar -xf -
I don't remember it exactly but i now that this command copied the filesystem over to my computer and i don't know how to change it to create an archive instead.
General :: What Could Add 30 GB To Backup?
Apr 15, 2010I am running Ubuntu 9.10 Gnome I have twin hard drives in my system. I use rsync to automatically back up my home user directory on the first drive to the second drive everyday. This has been working well for almost a year. My first drive is 85% full, but suddenly, my second drive is 100% full...in fact, rsync errored out having filled the second drive.
I erased the second drive, and using nautilus I copied the section of my first drive that I back up to the second drive (minus a few large files). When it was finished, the second drive was 99% full. As near as I can tell, my backup has about 30 GB of extra information, but I have been unable to determine what the extra data is! I am no longer able to do backups until this gets resolved. Does anyone have any idea what this could be, and how to discover where it is coming from? So that it can be rectified?
I thought maybe some link had somehow gotten created and my backups are following the link and copying the same info twice or something, but I haven't been able to figure out how to list all my links in my file structure on some kind of search.
General :: How To Take Backup Of Shell
Sep 2, 2010I was working on a shell and got some weird exceptions in my program.Just as a reference, I want to save all that is there on my shell to a text file. I do not just want the command history but also all the results that those commands produced at the shell.Is there some built-in utility to do this? I have kept the shell open for now, so that I can take the backup. Also, I am using xterm and it does not allow selecting all the way upto the top of the shell, so the ultimate way is to take the backup one screen at a time.

General :: Best Way To Set Up A Backup Transfer?
Apr 9, 2011Machine A holds important source data that needs to be backed up. Machine B is where the data will be backed up to.They're both Ubuntu.I want to have an automated process that allows machine A to create an encrypted tarball and copy it to machine B, without human intervention, but doesn't allow anything except copying the file over to a target directory.I thought about using a chroot jailed account, but this seems to be a pain to set up and overly complex. I really just want to be able to have machine A to copy files to machine B, via automatic cron, but I also want to prevent the mechanism that allows the copy from allowing any other actions (copying to any other directory, logging in, executing any other commands noninteractively, etc.). Also, the transfer must be encrypted (e.g. using ssh somehow).

Jan 10, 2011i just wanted confirmation that what i've done should work, here's the deal, i want to make a backup of my entire linux installed system using tar and gzip, tar to keep it all nice and ordered and to preserve the permissions, and gzip to compress the resulting file.
now down to business, i have booted into an arch linux install CD so as to have a command line separate from that of my standard installed system, my HDD layout (as mounts in my installed system) is like this
Code:
/dev/sda1 /boot
/dev/sda2 swap
/dev/sda3 /
/dev/sda4 /home
/dev/sdb1 (unknown partition on external HDD left over from fiddling around)
/dev/sdb2 main storage on external HDD

General :: DD To Backup Failing HDD?
Feb 1, 2010HDA1 is going to die, SMART says its well beyond dead, and I can tell the read/write times have gone up drastically.
I know I can use dd to copy it from a live CD.
1.) If I dd it to something.img, is there a way for me to "work" on the backup copy? Basically, I need to backup ASAP, but won't have a replacement drive for a while, so I'll need to be able to put the changes into the backup.
2.) When it comes time to restore, if I dd it to a larger drive, is there a way to take advantage of all the extra space? I assume I can dd it over and the MBR & Partition Table will go with, so I can use something like gparted to grow the partition to the drive size?
Or is there a better way to make a backup?
General :: How Long Should A Backup Take
Feb 28, 2011I was running grsync (rsync gui) to do a backup of my root and home partitions to a local external hdd. Home is currently 21.2 gb and root is about 60 gb, but the backup ran for nearly 24 hours before I canceled it, without finishing. How long should an 80ish gb backup take to do?
I made sure to disconnect other externals so they wouldn't be backed up as well. It was just my root and home being backed up.
