I 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.

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.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have requirement on shell scriptingre scripts for the following:
1) Full backup(application and DB): tar all the files and database and copy them in the backup server
2) Incremental back up of files: backup of all the updated filester the last backup.
3) Restoring of backup files: restore the backup files from the backup server to the application server.

I am about to write my first shell script for backing up my server.
These are the steps I have identified so far.
Copy files to be backed up to /srv/backup/ run mysqldump and copy the file to srv/backup/databases run duplicity to backup /srv/backup/* to another folder on my machine
I am writing a bash shell scrip that will be run everyday, and will carry out the three tasks mentioned above.
Note: point 3 (backing up to a local folder) is only a temporary measure - to allow me to understand what I'm doing, since all the tools I am using, are new to me. Once I can backup and restore correctly, I will use duplicity to compress and encrypt the files and upload them offsite.
If my understanding of duplicity is correct (according to the documentation here), the first time I run the script, a FULL backup will be done. Every subsequent backup will then be incremental. I will then force a FULL back on say a weekend.
First things first though - I have a few questions:
I would like to use backup rotation for the 'scheme' described above - I would like some recommendations on what kind/type of rotation to use. Once I have implemented the backup rotation, how can I restore from a particular day back in time (assuming the backup exists of course). ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a shell script that need to create some files:
1) backup files of user passed in file ( that will be written by this shell ).
2) temp files that the shell will create and later delete/remove.
This shell script will be used from my local dir ( I am not a super or a sysadmin ). Users of this shell will call this script to run on their local files in their respective directories. When my script runs, it errors with the following:
cp: cannot create regular file `./listfile.txt.backup': Permission denied
/home/myUser/tools/myShellScript: line 12: listfile.txt: Permission denied
for the temp I was able to avoid this error by creating the temp file in the /tmp directory. All I want is for this shell script to run, create/modify/backup files in user's local dirs.
The user dir has the following permission:
drwxr-xr-x testDir
the file that needs to be backed-up has:
-rw-r--r-- listfile.txt.

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.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI 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.

I'd like to know what solutions do you, people, use to backup a live system that acts as a small home mail/file/irc/web server and some other purposes. For example, right now, to backup the mail, I have to stop fetchmail, kill vixie-cron to avoid any problem and then do the backup. Then restart vixie-cron.I wonder if there's any solution that will leave me do the backup without all this hassle.
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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 5 Replies View RelatedThis should be a quick one. I'm trying to backup a single directory and it's subdirectories on my Lucid Server to a freenas box across my network. This is what I'm using to do that rsync -r -a -v -z * --delete freenas: DSIBackups..It almost works perfectly except for one problem. When a file is deleted at the source, this command doesn't seem to delete it on the receiving end. I assumed that the --delete would do that but aparently not.
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).
