Ubuntu :: Any Option To Built Solution To Make Backup
Apr 20, 2011
As I checked some online backup solutions I have found information that all of this which I checked have only clients for Win or Mac. But I'm looking for solution with Linux client.As I have read some info on one of the Googled page Linux probably is ready for being an online backup solution as is.So my idea is to create automatic (in the background) backup of my files (photos and docs) with my outside hosting server. I have unlimited shared hosting server with ftp access. Is there any option to built such solution to make backup synchronisation between my Linux comp and shared hosting? What should I get to know to start with such option?

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.

Can anybody please suggest a backup-image solution for Fedora 14?I made some tests with Clonezilla: it works fine but, please correct if I am wrong, it requires booting from a Clonezilla CD and cannot be used to take an image backup while the computer is running.

I need to install a backup server in my work environment.We have a Windows 2008 server and an old DELL PowerEdge 1750 server that has no OS on it yet.I would like to install Fedora on it and then backup the Windows Server data on the Fedora server using rsync or something else to do the backups.Do you think it's a good idea ? If not what would you use to backup the Windows server data, preferably on a linux system.

I would like to make a server in my home that could be used to backup old job files at a print shop that I work at, creating a low cost offsite backup for our backup server. It would only backup 30-200mb a night, depending on what size the various jobs are.
There are 4 workstations that backup to a network share hosted on a fileserver(tower). It only has a single TB drive, and now people are offloading files to this server to free there computer of disk space. This is going to be a problem once the "server" disk fails. The managment there will not pay a monthly fee for 500+GB of files we prob will never need, but cant delete. I was hoping I could create some sort of "online" backup hosted at my house. ( like amazon, carbonite but without the fancy gui)
After researching a while I can't seem to come up with a great solution (partly due to my lack of networking knowledge i'm sure!). I have a pfSense router, with VPN capabilities, and the router at work (Cisco/Linksys RVS4000) also can VPN. I would like to use linux as the server, I am in the process of learning Ubuntu. Also freeNAS via FTP is another thought, might be easier?

I'm running Debian Squeeze on my laptop and have a large usb drive to do backups to. Any recommendations on a good backup software? I know I can do tar or rsync but I'm hoping to have a bit more complete option that keeps permissions/symlinks/etc in case a restore is needed.

i'm searching for an encrypted backup solution for dial-up users. I'm already using duply (duplicity), but it's not really the right software for a large backup and a slow connection. Every x month a new full backup is needed, and that's really slow.Is there better system for that? A file based encrypted system would be nice, so it's not needed to reupload every large file.

I'm looking for a backup solution for multiple web applications that exist in code (flat files) and an associated mysql database. I'd like the code backups to be grouped with the DB backups by name/location. I'd also like redundancy, with backups going to a local drive and a remote network drive.I'm just about done writing a bash script that does a combination of tar/gz and mysqldump per application. Once it's done, I'll throw it in a cron job, and enable/disable sites by name in the script.Before I go further down this path, does anyone recommend a solid package that already exists?

I am looking for a home back up solution. Here are the requirements Free Capability of a Full Backup at the beginning of every month Capability of either differential or incremental backups nightly Server/Client setup Must work on both Windows and Linux Need to be able to setup Policies/Backup sets Must have logging
I wouldn't mind if it supported duplication, but it is not something I need at the moment.
I would be nice if I could find a free solution similar to Symantec Netbackup.

There are a lot of backup solutions, many scripts based of rsync. The problem is not a lot of them encrypt your data before syncing it. I have a USB hard drive and I want to backup my user folder /home/myuser/ to the external drive What software will allow me to create incremental backups which are encrypted with relative ease

I am mainly a Windows admin, but I do *NIX administration from time to time, for now I need to use an open source solution for backup windows environment mainly, I spent last days playing with bacula and backupPC, and I then chose backupPC, I built a solution with it seems working not bad, but before i go on deeper, I thought asking geeks here better, my main experience with back was with Vertias/Symantec Backup Exec, what do you recommend as most similar backup solution in Ubuntu offer a close level (I don't backup to tapes I back to hard disks), also a gui is preferred, while backupPC do a nice work and i handled its client config file (machine_name.pl), but I still do mistakes sometimes and troubleshooting is annoying, I have to backup files from users machines some of these files are running (like PST files), and I could need to backup a database or something from time to time. so whats your opinion all?

I'm running CentOS 5.4 on a Dell Xeon PowerEdge 1850. I want to back up an RHEL 4x web/mail server, 2 WinXP workstations, and 2 Ubuntu desktops....and I want them to go to my Dell LTO2 tape drive. What are my best options? I want a series of incremental daily backups and then a different series of weekend full backups.
I should have clarified that this is all in a small office LAN environment and that the RHEL web & mail server is another PowerEdge 1850 that is co-located with the CentOS server (same rack).

after upgrading to make 3.82, I can not compile the newest kernel: 2.6.35-rc6-git5，it failed with:
GEN /home/aaa/tools/kernel/output/35/Makefile
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h
[code].....
Maybe 3.82 has some backward-incompatibility that breaks kernel compilation.

I have BackInTime backing up my computer to a RAID cluster. The problem is that BackInTime doesn't have an option to limit disk space used. I also use this drive as a fileserver, and need to be able to keep some space open for that.
Is there a way that I can limit the amount of space a specific folder can take up? Alternately, is it possible to create a disk image that will only take up the amount of space in the image, but can automatically expand to a certain size? It would work similar to the Mac SpaseBundle format.

I'm sorry to post so much, but every time I solve one problem another comes up! xD
Anyways, I created an install CD for the newest Ubuntu, and the CD works. I used it to install Ubuntu, but when I went to reboot to complete the setup, it just went back to Windows normally. Then when I booted from the CD directly, bypassing Windows entirely, my monitor displayed "No sync" and refused to display anything until I turned off all power to the computer and restarted into Windows normally.
How can I make it so that it will boot to Ubuntu?

I built the Debian system on my laptop from a Net install CD and installed the packages that I wanted.
Now it has come time that I need to build a new desktop computer (CPU's locking up on me after 6 years) and I would like to be able to turn my laptop Debian system into a Distro that I can load on the Desktop.
Is there a program to turn my laptop OS install into a installable distro, or do I need to do this by hand?

So I was doing the update to 10.04 when a freak thunderstorm knocked out the power. I can no longer load onto ubuntu from the HDD. I have been told to either do an emergency back up using the 10.04 live disk. I am not sure what to do when it comes to that. I have also heard I can just repair the boot file on the HDD. I don't know how to do that either. I wouldn't mind I fresh install but I do not want to lose any of my data.

I'd like to have a list of changes from default install or installed packages, and modified configs in order not to to waste space on binaries. This way, when restoring the script can just check if the packages are there, do configs match, and adjust accordingly.

Newly installed Lucid and several programs to get it just the way I like it. I went to make a backup of the entire system with remastersys for the second time (first time was ok) but everytime it says iso file too big, which it is at 16gb plus. I have been through and double checked that my personnel files, pics, music, movies are all removed and my virtual machine. When checking with "Disk usage analyzer" it says I have 158.8GB free but when I check the home file system itself it says I have 150.1GB free. Note the missing 8.1GB. I believe this is the root of my inability to make a backup.

I'm trying to make a backup script with rsync that backups "/opt/example" to /mnt/sharedfolder/backup
And with each output the name would show the date of the backup & time. Then there would be 5 backups each time before the oldest would get replaced. I found something that I think does what I need but every time I run it I get this message.
Code:
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1511) [Receiver=3.0.7]
./backupscript.sh: 65: /mnt/hgfs/bminecraft/: Permission denied
BTW /mnt/hgfs/bminecraft/ is chmoded to 755 and yes that is the correct path.

I was wondering how I can make Windows XP the first and default option on my Grub 2. I use Ubuntu 9.10 through a semi-dedicated partition on my second hard drive, if that helps. I use Grub 2 just cause I have a grub.cfg file, and here it is.
Code:
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates

If I am using LXDE or another non-Gnome desktop and want to use Nautilus as the file viewer it needs to be launched with the --no-desktop option (so nautilus does not load it's desktop image under the other DE).
I know there is a way to make it so whenever nautilus is launched it will not load the desktop (even if you do not pass the --no-desktop argument) but I do not recall how I did this last time! I believe it was a gconf value. Anyone know what this setting is/how I can accomplish what I am looking to do?

I have been using Wubi for a few weeks now and I am really impressed. I have endured a lot of problems with grub and kernel problems etc but now realise that its just the Wubi inside windows! I have it all set up with the cube to perfection and all drivers are running great after a bit of tweaking. So a bit of a lazy question really, can I install it properly onto my drive, and retain all the hard work I have put in setting it up? I have tried, but when it comes to selecting the drive that the Wubi is installed on it just says format with no backup option.
