Software :: Backup Software That Can Backup A Ftp Website?
Aug 3, 2010
I'm trying to backup a NAS from remote. The only options it has are FTP, NFS and CIFS. The only encryption method it has is explicit ftp encryption (old school). I know lot's of ways to backup if I open the firewall to allow SMB access, but I know that you can't encrypt in transit with it. I don't know much about NFS and the NAS has virtually no options for it, so I'm guessing encryption isn't supported on it. This leads me to FTP with explicit encryption. I've done a bit of research on software that can backup over ftp and have not found many. Furthermore, I haven't found any that will work with explicit encryption. I had a bit of success using lftp but then realized it's an all or nothing sort of thing (I don't want to backup 1tb+ of movies that I can just rip again if I lose them due to space constraints).

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). ?
I am running Ubuntu 10.0.4

using 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

After 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:
file: including.txt:

This 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

I 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`
[code]....
It seems that MySQL can open and write to the file fine, it just can't dump

I'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?

I am trying to create a backup script that will back up a single folder for a class i am in. I was wandering if I could get some help. If possible I would also like to know how to write a script that can encrypt that same file . I will be putting the back up in my /home/usr/Backup directory. I am not trying to back up my whole system just a single folder. I am using Fedora 11

I'm just setting up a partition on a seperate HDD in my system. I plan to use the partition to backup the important files on my main HDD (to guard against HD crash).
The question I have is about where would be the typical location to auto mount this partition? Which would it be normal to go for:
1. /backup/
2. /media/backup/
3. /mnt/backup/
4. /home/chris/backup/

I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 onto HP EliteBook 8540w notebook and would like to backup the entire disk using some popular backup tool.
I have searched in the internet and found the closest tool is PartImage. But the bad news is that it does not support ext4 fs!

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.

When I backup with Dejadup, does it backup only the folders or the OS as well?
In case of a real crash, can I bring back the system to its pre crash state including the OS, using Dejadup backed up files?

I 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.

I am about to back up my data before migrating to 10.10
Need some ideas on what is the best way?
I was thinking copying my whole filesystem to an external drive but the filesystem is rather big.
Is there a way i can create a DVD from my current setup of everything and i can just use that to recover in the event something goes wrong?

I 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.

My church is planning to purchase a NAS serving 9 PCs running Windows and Linux respectively. The new device apart from storing data, mainly photo, is expected to be used for backup keeping all PCs images.
I have been googling a while unable to find a solution running dd command over LAN.

This is a generic howto for using command-line tools for backing up your DVD home movies.First, make sure you have the rpmfusion repo installed.The above commands will create an exact duplicate of the video DVD. It will not shrink it or remaster the video files, so you will probably need dual-layer media if you want to burn your backup to disk.A more enterprising individual could very easily create a shell script to automate the process, but you get the picture.

I have fedora 13. Is there online based automatic backup solution that satisfy these requirements.Any file that I modify or create new in /home is automatically backup online and also encrypted on regular intervals such as 5 times a day. The backup system only uploads what was changed and not the whole file again. Any other folders that I specify are backed up in the same way as /home. /home also contains disk images of virtual operating systems. When I startup those VM and create or edit some files within VM, these should also become part of the online backup. Since these disk images are typically 20 GB in size so the online backup simply cannot upload the whole disk image over the wire on a regular basis.
