I have use Linux ( Suse, Ubuntu , Red Hat ) different times for different things. My newest goal is File Server. Here are the specs, I have already made the box, just choosing the OS here is what it needs to be able to do from order of most important to least.
Specs;
CPU- AMD Phenom IIx4 945
Ram- 4GB DDR 3 1600mhz
Mobo- Asus M4a79xtd EVO
Video- ATI 4650

I want to setup a Linux File Server for a small windows network (around 50 users). I do know that I am gona need Smb service/pkg for that. I haven't used Samba for a while now and as per the best of my knowledge, entire communication (including usernames and passwords) between a samba server & windows client machines will be plain text. Is there any way to secure all this communication??
Secondly, if i remember correctly, MS windows wont let me mount more than one samba shares as network disk when all my shares can be accessed by different smb users with different passwords?? is there a solution to this problem? OR may be if there is any other package available for this purpose so that i wont have to use samba?
iam trying to sync file server data into backup server machine by command- rsync -avu path/of/data ipaddress-of-backup-server:/path/where/to/save after running it ask for root password and manually it is successful.but i want to make it automatic.for that i also tried cronjob and also generated authentication key but iam not successful in login automatically..anybody know how to authenticate root to login for storing data in backup server.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am currently trying to figure out what's the best way to backup several PCs (about 5 computers each with Windows 7) from my family.
As I want the same solution for all Computer - I set up my old computer (Windows 7) and added some hard drives and there should now be enough space to backup the data of everyone from my family via the network. (Lets call this computer "Server")
But now I am wondering whats the best way to do this? What I do not want:
I do not want to start the Server each time manually when a computer tries to backup. (I thought about using WakeOnLan.. but I do not know if this is a good idea) I do not want the Server to run permanently I do not want to make the backups manually they should backup about every week automatically.
So which Software on the Computers / or the "Server" would you recommend?
Or would you eve recommend me to use Linux on the Server? If so, which Software would you use then?
I have a Linux server running Debian 5. I need to get it backed up. I have worked with tar in my past Unix days. I've read that there are some limitations to tar though since it is intended for tape.
My server would need to backup to a Windows server share. From ther it will be backed up to an offsite location. Can anyone make a recommendation for what to use? I would like to take a full backup weekly and then a incremental daily.
I have a new Ubuntu server setup to play with. I have managed to write a basic script that will backup from 1 directory to another. I would like to be able to backup the data to a windows share or nas box. how I would do this? Not too good with mounting memory sticks or anything like that.

View 1 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. Can anyone think of a reason that this would happen?

I just switch back to ubuntu after running the windows for about a 6 months again, new laptop, programs needed in windows, either way I'm back. What I had setup in windows were specific files that would auto backup to my samba file server when the network was detected. I'm looking to do the same in ubuntu now. Basically I'm thinking of writing a script to backup the files, only thing I'd be stuck with is how to tell the script to run when I connect to the network at home? Is their software already designed for this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThrough the Black Friday shuffle of getting new hardware, I now have a 500TB external drive, a 1TB external drive, and an old computer I want to set up as a home server. My family has a lot of photos that are currently stored on many different computers and are not backed up, I want 500gb of space for photos, and for those photos to be backed up. That would leave the other half of the 1TB drive for assorted things like personal backups, and general file storage. I know enough how to set up Ubuntu server edition on the computer, but the options on how I can set up the storage is stumping me.
To Recap, I have 1.5TB of storage total split 1TB/500GB. I want 500GB to be used for a central storage for the 10+ computers in my house(mostly using Windows) and that 500GB would be automatically backed up. The 500GB that's left would be used for non critical files, and wouldn't be backed up.
What is the best way of backing up the files? (script once a day that copies files? Some backup program?)
Would the 500gb drive be best for backing up to(having the 1TB be where people would put the pictures) or the other way around? Does it really matter?
Any tips on the cleanest way to have this work cleanly with Windows, Linux, and Mac? How well do photo programs(Picasa, Shotwell, iPhoto) like a setup like this? Is it possible to have different programs on different machines all reference the same file system without their automatic sorting(to folders, usually by date) messing each other up?
I have an account in university on Linux machine with 10TB of free space accessible via SFTP. I would like to backup my Windows 7 x64 laptop to university.

So I am looking for something like Windows Backup but with support for SFTP. Combination of tools will work too.

Normally I will load the proper tapes and run the amflush to push stuff from the holding disk to tapes manually. However this time amflush in this case did not help, Amanda immediately responded with an out of tape error again.

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.
