Red Hat / Fedora :: Backup Program - Cannot Be Zipped Or Compressed
Apr 16, 2010
What i am trying to acheive with my minimal knowledge is to set up a linux system that will backup windows based computers to a couple of terabyte hard drives installed in this system. The backups cannot be zipped or compressed in anyway as the backups have to be able to be di-sected and only parts of them restored to their respective computers. Backing up over a network would be a great bonus but not necessary. Does anyone know a program that would fulfil my needs whilst still being simple so i can install and configure it?

I'm trying to recover a compressed mysql backup. As the backup is extremely large, I dont wanna decompress it before importing. How can I make a mysql variable take effect before I load this compressed file into the database.

I'm wondering if there is any application being able to handle compressed SWF files. If I try it with mencoder (mplayer), it tells me:[swf @ 0x91a0a30]Compressed SWF format not supported No way in Fedora Core 11?

So I have a script that simply unzips a file with a line:
unzip /path/to/file.zip
which unzips and puts the unzipped directory in the same directory as my script. The issue is, I want the unzipped directory to be in the same directory as the original zipped file.
I googled and found the -d flag which would let me specify what directory to put it in but the script asks the user to define the directory so I don't see how I could use that (because the user specifies the path all the way to the zipped file, not just the directory where the zipped file is)

I have a something.gz file. When I type gunzip -c something.gz this commend open the file but at the end of the file I get an error message invalid compressed data--length error. Also if I type more at the and of this commend like gunzip -c something.gz | more, file would not open. It gives some meaningless characters.I want to open this file with more.

I want to know if there is anyway I can extract the first few contents of a zipped file and then the next fixed and so on? For example, suppose I have a zipped file containing 1000000 natural numbers and I want to extract the first thousand numbers and then the next thousand numbers (1001-2000) and so on till I reach the end. Is this possible?

I am using Backtrack 4 Final, which is a Linux distro that is Ubuntu based. I had a directory that contained around 5 files. I deleted one of the files, which sent it to the trash. I then zipped the directory up (now containing 4 files), using this command:
zip -r directory.zip directory/
When I then unzipped directory.zip, the file I deleted was in there again. I couldn't believe this, so I zipped up the directory again, and the file reappeared again but this time could not be opened because the operating system said it didn't exist or something. I don't remember the exact error, and I cannot make this happen again. why a file that was deleted from a directory would reappear in that directory after it was zipped up?

Is it possible to copy zipped (my.zip) files from Windows systems to Linux systems and unzip them without any corruption.
I know the command unzip is available, but I want to know if this copying from WIndows to Linux could lead to file corruption.

Back in the DOS days (yes I am dating myself) there was a backup command that would back the selected files across a series of floppy disks. Is there such a command in Karmic to backup across multiple DVDs?
I would like to do some backups of my data and other important files but I have more than 4 GB of information. I have seen posts on ways to write a compressed file but that still stores it on the HDD and I would like the files on DVDs in case the HDD crashes.

Ok, Noobe to Ubuntu, recently installed Lucid, did all the updates, Got my UT 99 loaded and working natively with TeamSpeak 3 (yea, even the sound works now) ... I really like the setup I have now. Can some one recommend a good backup program to use that will "completely" backup my current system "as installed"? I have installed "Back in Time", and it seems really easy to use, but I'm looking for something similar to (sorry have to say it "Windows System Restore").
I've tweaked and tweaked, updated my ALSA drivers, working openAL and got the latest ATI driver installed for my ATI 5770 ... even got a Xfi linux beta working from Creative (that was fun).. Something user friendly too, I'm learning, but still very new to Linux/commandline/Ubuntu.

i'm looking for a reliable program to do backups to my desktop.(from the remote linux server....to my desktop )Preferably an FTP program that I can login to with Root access.... but most importantly, a program that will only copy over changed / new files after the first full backup. Thats the biggest problem I have currently.. when i do it with WinSCP, I usually backup the WHOLE entire /vhosts/ directory each and everytime. And its 2 GB's in size....takes forever when copying to desktop. I would only like changed / new files to be copied over after the first full backup.

I installed Sbackup from synaptic.Now I am wondering if there are better backup programs for Ubuntu(I did read favorite backup solution poll in "find similar threads).I just need something very basic. I plan on doing thr backups manually about once per week, so I don't need anything too fancy or with too many options. What's your favorite? (tar doenn't count).

Could you suggest feature-rich disk-based personal backup program for Linux (and I've seen a few)?
I want to do nightly backups of the whole system and be able to rollback to any of last 7 days. And, it must be incremental backups. What tool should I use? The tutorials I've read about rsync tell only how to store latest incremental backup and I need last 7.

I came across this feature of the "less" command today. It appears not to be well-documented so I'll share it here. I found that "less" can automatically uncompress compressed files - no need to run the first command, the second does the same job:
Code:
gunzip -c textfile.gz | less
less textfile.gz
Even better, "less" can read and list the contents of some archive files as well, including Tar files compressed using Gzip and Bzip2 as well as Zip files. So now when I want to list the contents of an archive,for example to determine whether the contents will be extracted to an absolute path or relative to the working directory, the following work
Code:
less archive.tar.gz
less archive.tgz
less archive.tar.bz2
less archive.zip
Much easier than remembering the various options that the Tar, Gzip, Bzip2 and Zip use. The best one for me is with RPM archives:
Code:
less some.rpm
The above outputs the Information, Change Log and verbose File List of the RPM (paging the output, of course!) The following commands (using short and long options) give the equivalent output using the "rpm" command:
Code:
rpm -qilvp --changelog some.rpm | less
rpm --query --info --list --verbose --package --changelog some.rpm | less
"less" does not recognise the initramfs file produced by "dracut" (which is a compressed "cpio" archive), but I suppose you can't have everything ...

I am trying to create an Ubuntu install disk from a downloaded ISO. Evrey time I have tried (3 or 4 times now) to DL the iso I get a compressed folder with a zillion files (including WUBI installer). However there is no actual iso in the compressed folder any where. I have tried DL'n it from the direct link as a windows handled DL and I have DL'd it using BitTorrent.
I am trying to DL and burn the iso on a Window$ XP box. Could my problem be that my browser is auto detected and I get the wubi install DL? Is WinRar messing with me? Am I just lame and even though when I launch 'Infra Recorder' and it can't see any ISO's anywhere in the decompressed Ubuntu, install/iso download, there is a magic manner in which you burn the image that I just don't get?
I just want to install Ubuntu on an older box and play with it. Then I am thinking I might like to reformat my laptop and make it dual boot with ubuntu as default load. But I can't even seem to figure out how to burn an install disk ?

think of this directory as the current structure..
Quote:
|-- test
| `-- test1
`-- test.tar
test.tar is a compressed tar of /test/ (cvfz), now... I need to add another file called test2 to test.tar, WITHIN the test directory in the tar. Is this possible?

I have problem to mount a compressed (ISZ) image under Linux, which was created by e.g. UltraISO? I am aware about user-space fuseiso, but it fails to mount these images, as I have reported in Debian bugtracker (correct me if I ddi something wrong). I ask the community for a help: I need a proved solution to mount these images without decompressing them.I believe that CONFIG_ZISOFS kernel option cannot help, as it refers a special RockRidge extension (per-file compression with mkisofs -z or mkzftree).

I would like to have my backup script that I am writing to create a sql dump of my database and go directly into a tar file. Does anyone know how I could do this with one command?
To be more clear I would like to go from
mysqldump -u xxxx -pXXXXX tablename> currentbackup.sql
tar -czvf backup-XXXXXXXX.tgz currentbackup.sql
rm currentbackup.sql
To a single command somehow. Does anyone know how I could accomplish something like this?
