Ran into an issue where there was a corrupt tar and nothing to do except revert to an even older one. Naturally I am then asked, can you confirm via crc or something that a tar was successful?I wish to tar / gzip some files and folders, will do them seperate, some are small, others can reach 5-7GB, but is there any way to rify aside from listing the contents that upon a tar completion that everything was fine?

The issue i have is where is the location these backup snapshots or files are saving? I want to add a separate Storage to save the backup?
Does 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.

I am looking for the simplest more robust solution for smtp, pop3 and imap. I have only ever used qmail before and found it a pain to configure and its getting old so I though I should probably try something new. I have not much experience with running pop3 or imap on linux so would love a suggestion on that.
1. I ordered an Opensuse 11.2 Live CD-Gnome 32-bit and an Install DVD 64-bit from a [URL].
2. My plan is to install Opensuse 11.2 from the Live CD on an old 32-bit Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop (512 mb Ram) and dual boot it w/ Windows XP.
3. And then to install the 64-bit Opensuse 11.2 on a newer 64-bit Acer Ax1200 desktop (4 gig ram).
4. Is there a way to confirm that I have the correct 32-bit Live CD and a 64-bit Install DVD?
5. I tried looking at the "properties" of the Opensuse Install DVD while in XP, w/out seeing any obvious signal identifying 32 vs 64 bit.
6. I have a hunch that if I accidentally try to install the 64-bit version on my old 32-bit laptop, it would be a disaster.
I'm running 10.10 on a Pentium laptop that also has Win7 64bit installed. I did some googling on this and then ran uname -a in a terminal.

Based on what I saw in my google search, it means I'm using Ubuntu 32 bit. I want to make sure I download the correct version of Google Earth.

What is the problem? Is it an OpenSuse bug?
So here's the deal: I'm "supporting" this older lady who's using an i386-type Compaq (Pentium III -- Coppermine) with 384MB of RAM. She says that the machine is being slow, and I decide that she needs a leaner OS than what she has (which is Ubuntu 09.10). OK, so I do some research and conclude that openSUSE is the best OS for both the machine and for the older lady. I use Bittorrent to download 11.3 and check the md5 checksum. In my own room I install on a machine that is identical to hers 11.3 and everything checks out (I ultimately conclude that GNOME is large for the machine and spend a number of days trying to swap it out with XFCE, but that's another story.). So I figure that everything's great and I use the same (GNOME) live disk to install 11.3 on her machine. As soon as GNOME fully boots up it crashes. I reinstall and it crashes again. I swap out hard drives (remember, these are identical machines that I'm "supporting", here) and as soon as GNOME is fully loaded 11.3 then promptly crashes. Finally, I swap out her entire MACHINE with the identical one that I've been working on in my room. The f---er crashes when GNOME is fully loaded! By now, I'm fully pissed (because by this time my regular machine has ALSO gone down (possibly because of openSUSE, but I cannot say definitively so at this time).

I've installed CFEngine from source (for those of you who aren't familiar with the product, check out the wiki page) on an AIX server. I had some issues setting it up but finally got it to gmake successfully.
Once I run gmake install I get a very short output (based on other source builds) and no errors. I figure something is fishy and I now I need to figure out a good way to find if it was correctly installed. I tried:
find / -name cfeng* 2> /dev/null
Is there something analogous to rpm -qa | grep cfengine?

1) Is there a dedicated forum on the net for people writing Linux drivers?
2) I've been reading over how Linux drivers are put together and even made my own dummy driver. However, before I begin writing the "real" driver I set out to write, I would like someone with some driver writing experience to verify that my knowledge is correct.
The driver I intend to write is for a PCI card. The very first thing I need is to know is the vendor ID and device ID of the card. After having that information, I can then use the pci_register_driver command to open a connection to the card. At this point, I need to use the pci_*_config_* commands (an example of a pci_*_config_* command is pci_read_config_byte) to figure out where the device is mapped in memory and what I/O ports I need. Now, the pci_* breed of commands take a parameter integer (which is an address) as there second argument. The address(es) which I will use and what they accomplish is device dependent. At this point, after having otained the I/O ports I need, I can then begin writing to them via the inb, outb, etc commands. Writing to X port will have Y result but this is vendor specific.
I am writing an installation script that installs several packages using apt-get. Is there a way to run that command with some sort of option that makes it so the user doesn't have to type Y to confirm the installation? The user needs to be run the script as sudo

Duplicate file finders don't work, because they'll find two copies of the same file within B, for instance. I only want to confirm that every file in one is identical to the other.
diff -qr /media/A/ /media/B/ seems to work, but the output is cluttered with garbage like
diff: /media/A//etc/alternatives/ControlPanel: No such file or directory
and
File /media/A//dev/tty8 is a character special file while file /media/B//dev/tty8 is a character special file
I can suppress the former with 2> /dev/null, but I don't know about the latter.
rsync -avn /media/A/ /media/B/ also produces a bunch of clutter, like "skipping non-regular file".
How can I compare the two trees and just make sure that all the real files exist in both and are identical?
I currently have a centos 4.4 I believe running with a 250GB hard drive. I want to make an image of that hard drive. I have tried removing the drive and connecting it to my windows pc using an adapter that would allow my windows machine run the hard drive as it was a regular external hard drive. Of course windows doesn't reconize that drive since it is linux partitioned. I am thinking that I need to have the hard drive inthe box I am wanting to copy and put in a blank drive in the box that I want to copy to. And boot from a live CD and use cat or dd to copy it. I have seen the commands before bust I am thinking this is the only way. Basically I am wanting to have a duplicate of the drive and build a whole new server that is already all setup.I will just change the host name and assign it another Public facing UP. Is this correct? Oh, and the new server will have different hardware. Might even be AMD or intel different from source or destination.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy office uses a local Linux server running Red Hat 6.1 for an ancient text-based accounting program. The client computers (about 5 or so) run WinXP pro and use Tinyterm emulator to log in to the server. One of the client computers (we'll call it client1) had a user in Windows configured to do scheduled backups of the Linux server. The office worker for client1 was instructed to log in to xp as the backup user and leave the pc on all night and it would backup the linux server, then it would copy that backup to an external hard drive, attached to client1.
The c: hard drive on client1 died and no backups were available. I have restored the computer with a fresh xp install, but I have no idea what method was used to back the server up. I'm sure samba was used but I cannot find any documentation or instructions left behind by whoever set the system up. I have the ip address of the server and have restored tinyterm to be able to log in from client1. I also have access to the command line on the server. I just need help with being able to back the linux server up from a windows xp client.

1. i would like to take os backup.
2.i would like to take os backup and database backup.
I am a college student (compSci) that moves around a lot with a laptop. I back it up often, but I dont want a simple usb hd that can be stolen from my dorm and/or damaged (its already been damaged). I am making a file server with RAID 1 that will sit at my parents house for safer backups. I just need a few pointers, I have never experimented with RAID before.
Software: Fedora 14 - Software RAID 1. I will only have ssh running on a port other than 22, behind a router, with keyed entry only so I can remotely backup my stuff.
Hardware: A new(ish) P4 mobo with two (2TB) hd's (for RAID 1) and one small hd for the OS.
My questions:
1) Should I have the OS installed on a separate drive or on the two RAID drives? I am using software RAID, not hardware, so I assume I need two external drives for the RAID.
2) Should I be using more then two hd's for a RAID 1 array?
3) How can I encrypt the RAID drives? As I said before, I have no experience with RAID.
4) If the OS drive fails, can I just grab a new hd and install Fedora on it to get the data off my RAID array? Or do I need to image the Fedora drive every so often?
5) If one of the RAID drives fail, is there some sort of daemon that can tell me? I will not be at my house physically, so I will not be able to hear scratching platters :P. Also, because the size of a single disk in the array is 2 TB, can I just go out and get any kind of 2 TB drive to replace the failed one?
6) If the MoBo fails, can I just pop in a new one (of any kind) and continue using my same array?

I switched last summer from Windows (used it since Windows 95) to Debian. I'm using Debian Jessie for a couple of months now and I'm getting used a little.
There are problems here and there, but I can solved them with some reading on the web. Not really a big problem...till now
I run Debian 8.2 om my PC (PC1). Bought an older PC (PC2) that I want to use as a backup server.
I'm using PC2 only for making backups, after the backup I switch it off again.
So I installed Debian 8.2 (net-install without DE and with SSH) on PC2 and tried to configure it to let it work as my backup location. Made a public SSH key and exported it to the root account (no problem) and to the user account (sensdeb), but there was an error "Access Denied"
Gave the user (sensdeb) sudo-rights via visudo file
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
sensdeb ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
I installed rsync.
The problem is that Rsync only works when I use the root account.
Code: Select allrsync -r -n -t -v --progress --delete -u -l -H -s /media/Data/Mp3/Anastacia root@192.168.1.102:/test/Mp3
When I try to sync with he normal user account sensdeb
Code: Select allrsync -r -n -t -v --progress --delete -u -l -H -s /media/Data/Mp3/Anastacia sensdeb@192.168.1.102:/test/Mp3
I get error's. Access Denied
I don know how to give the user sensdeb the rights so that I can use that account for my backup tasks. Now it's possible to sync with the root account, but that should not be the way to do it, I read many times.

View 1 Replies View Relatedon my server I have atMail and a intranet site being hosted using mySQL for the database locally, and obviously backing it up would be a good thing. I got the backup package from the list if you use the add/remove software called dump-0.4.etc.. can't seem to find much on how to use it, set it up, nothing. Granted I could be looking for the wrong thing which I'm sure is the case. As of now it's looking like a USB drive is going to be my only option, that will change in the future as this "project" goes further (we are a windows shop trying out Linux, and the next step is going to be adding another server that's a file server at that point we'll probably go to NAS for the backup and then transer that to a USB for offsite/secondary backup).
