Jan 4, 2010I've been installing a fair amount of packages from slackbuild.org. Is it a good idea to backup the tgz files i get from building the .SlackBuild files?. I think this would save me time in case if i reinstall slack, then i can install these packages by doing just
Code:
Instead going through the whole:
1)Download source,SlackBuild script
2)Run SlackBuild script
3)finally installpkg if successful.
Will there be any problems with configurations if i don't do it from the beginning?. I thought of this because some packages took helluva time to download and compile.

View 3 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Finding Files To Backup?
Mar 12, 2011I have a situation where a directory has about 1.5 million files in it. On an hourly basis, I want to be able to find any files that have changed in the last hour, compress them, encrypt them and then copy them to both a local backup machine and an off site backup.
Is there any kind of utility or kernel module that creates some type of log of modified files? I know I can use find, but the search for -mtime in this directory takes quite a while and will not suffice for an hourly backup.
General :: Backup Only The Files Which Have Changed?
May 18, 2011if there an application which does the following:
1. I have a laptop with an internal 200GB HD.
2. I run the application & it creates a list of all files (size & time-stamp) without actually storing them. Let's call this the "snapshot list".
3. I update some of the files on the laptop.
4. Now I run the application & it only copies the files which have changed on the laptop, that have different size/time-stamp from the snapshot list, onto some external media, such as a memory card. Of course, the files should be copied onto their proper location in the directory tree & not just pile up in one place.
Why is this useful? although the laptop has a 200GB HD I typically only update a small number of files, whose total size is maybe 10MB or so. If I could only backup those which have changed, I could do this with a tiny SD card instead of lugging around an external usb HD.

Mar 8, 2011When i create a backup with yast using the option to manually create it, i select the file name /mnt/Backup/system-full-$(date +%F).tar which results later on in two files, the xml file and the tar file with different names:
for example
/mnt/Backup/system-full-2011-03-08.tar, /mnt/Backup/system-full-$(date +%F).xml
this is not acceptable. both files should have the same suffix. Is this the expected behavior or should i report a bug?
General :: Display Backup Files In Gnome?
Feb 2, 2010I'm using gnome. I created some text files. After I change something in myfile.txt there's myfile.txt~ automatically created as a backup. Ok... now, on KDE I see these ~ files and I can delete them if I want but they're hidden in gnome... Gnome seems to treat them as special hidden files (just like .mydir directories) How do I make ~ files visible in gnome so I could edit or delete them?
View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Script To Backup And FTP Files To Another Server
Sep 13, 2010I am using MySQL as the database system for my application on a Linux system. Every week I update the system and take backups (mysqldump) of the databases changed (2 databases). I then .tar.gz them and ftp the resulting file to a remote server, after which I remove the original backups and tar.gz files from the Linux server. Being a complete novice when it comes to Unix systems, I would like to know if it is possible to write a script which would do all this automatically, i.e. perform the following steps.
1) Backup database A to A.sql (mysqldump)
2) Backup database B to B.sql (mysqldump)
3) tar -cvzf dest.tar.gz A.sql B.sql
4) ftp dest.tar.gz to ftp@remoteserver.com
5) Delete A.sql, B.sql, dest.tar from local server
Ubuntu :: Find A Way To Backup Files To Cdr/dvdr?
Jan 17, 2010I'm trying to find a way to backup my files to cdr/dvdr. I'd like to put a blank disk in when I finish using the machine, have it backup anything new, up to the size of the media and stop. I can put in new media the next day and I'd like it to continue from where it left off. It would be best if the backups are readable by any machine and I could extract specific files if a problem should arise. Any suggestions? Tar won't let me specify a final archive size and wants to do all the volumes in the backup at the same time.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: External Backup HD Sharing With Win 7 And OS Files
Nov 18, 2010I am a beginner to Ubuntu / linux. I plan to partition my laptop (HP pavilion) for Windows 7 and Linux (Ubuntu). Can I backup both Linux and Windows 7 files to a single external USB hard drive? (Obviously, they will be in separate directories). If yes, how do I do that? If not, what are my alternatives?
I assume Ubuntu will recognize a USB hard drive as an external flash drive, right? I also notice external SATA hard drive docking stations with USB interface are available, and I have not use them before. The devices takes internal SATA hard drive. If you have use them before, let me know how did you format it using Ubuntu or Windows7 while the drive is attached to the station.
Ubuntu :: How To Read Backup Files In Windows
Jun 15, 2011I had some problems with my hdd, I fixed most of the problems with "testdrive" or "testdisk" (cant remember) but I have some bad sections on my disk right where my important data is. I made a backup with "dd" from a live cd. I have the backup with a reading error or 5 so I guess most data is safe? I have the backup of the whole drive on an other hdd and now I need to get just a few folders out of it. I tried in windows but I can't read it. Poweriso can but not the privet folders like /var/ and that folder I need. I had a password on the account so I guess that is part of the problem? How to read the backup file in windows?
View 4 Replies View RelatedRed Hat / Fedora :: Simple Backup HD Including All Files?
Feb 20, 2010I am somewhat new to Linux and I am looking for a way to back up my HD with all my Linux files. I have a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7. The HD has been partitioned so that the computer can run Red Hat Scientific Linux. Using Grub I can dual boot to either Windows 7 or Linux on start up. I want a simple way of backing up the entire contents of my HD (both partitions - everything) - so that in the event of my laptop being damaged I can reconstruct my set up and data as before with all my files and settings in both Windows 7 and Linux intact. Is there a simple program that will enable me to copy everything to an external HD for back up. Can anyone recommend a package that will do this?

General :: Viewing Backup Files But Only In Some Directories?
Oct 26, 2010I backed up my Laptop with a script, as follows:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
sudo
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-compat -r -v /home
I then installed a new version of Ubuntu 10.04 from disk and copied the files in /home from the cd to the hard. I am able to open, view etc. all the files in most directories except those in /home/documents. There are text files created by gedit, OOWP and several PDF files. I cannot open or view these files, depending: gedit and pdf files gets a Err.Msg. "Don't recognize file type" (it is clearly marked PDF) . The OO files look like rows of 'high bits' and a dialogue box opens giving me the options to change Char. Set, Font, Language, Paragraph break.

Ubuntu :: External Hard Drive Will Not Let Backup Files?
Jan 10, 2010I've been working at this for the past 2 days now. My computer got some kind of virus or something that has caused it to loop at startup and continually reset. I run an XP OS on a Gateway. I desperately need to backup my files, because the person who had my backup absently deleted my stuff. I was able to boot up using an Ubuntu disc and I'm in it right now, I've found my files, I have an external hard drive. The problem:First, it wont let me paste into the hard drive. If I drag, it says "Error while copying to "/media/FreeAgent Drive". You do not have permissions to write to this folder." I've mounted the external drive, nothing changes.
I've gone in to properties, is says under permissions that the owner is root, folder access is "Access files" and at the bottom is says "You are not the owner, so you can't change these permissions." The drop downs where I need to change permissions is in gray, so I can;t change it.So next, I tried "gksu nautilus", went to the drive through there, and it let me use the drop down selection under permissions. I tried to change the folder access and I got this message: "The permissions could not be changed. Couldn't change the permissions of "FreeAgent Drive" because it is on a read-only disk." So I tried changing the file access to Read and Write. It didn't give an error, so I thought perhaps it finally worked. I hit apply, and tried to put my files in. Once again I got the message from before that said I didn't have permission. I tried to change the owner so it was no longer root and I got "The owner could not be changed. Couldn't change the owner of "FreeAgent Drive" because it is on a read-only disk."I'm getting so frustrated right now. These files are VERY important to me! The hard drive I have is a Seagate FreeAgent desk 500GB

I've tried several backup programs, some based on Rsync, as well as Rsync itself, but they all had problems. Dj Dup kind of worked and was able to copy files (archives), but kept dropping the ethernet connection instead.
Ubuntu :: Backup NTFS Files Modified After A Certain Date?
May 14, 2010I clone my entire notebook hdd once a month to a USB drive with an identical disk once a month using dd. I would like to find a way to automatically or manually do incremental backups at shorter intervals.
The first problem is that my incremental backup drive is not the same as my full backup drive (which is my clone). Is there some way to backup or copy all files on a document partition modified after a certain date?
The second problem is that my document partition is NTFS-3G. I guess this could be done pretty easily using "dump" if I stored my docs on ext. [I don't because I want to make sure that my docs are accessible from any machine (say in an Internet cafe) should my MacBook die and I need to rip out the hard drive and run to do my homework on another system; that is why I keep my docs on my Vista partition].
