First off I'm running a headless Ubuntu server 10.10 box.I have a single folder on a ntfs drive that I wish to copy somewhere else on the same HD. I'd like this to automatically happen about once a week or so. It would be even better if it would tarball the copy also..but this isn't a 100% necessary.
Something like "XFOLDER" would be copied to "/backup/XFOLDER1.tar" then next time "/backup/XFOLDER2.tar" and so on.
We have 10.x ubuntu server with XP clients. We have samba share folders at LAN. Is there any possibility that we can disable copy and paste option for some specific folders, while other data folders remain as usual in our shared data?

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to recreate all the folders from one directory to another without copying over the contents of the folder? I've been trying to do something like this,
Code:for i in `ls $X`; do mkdir $PATH/$i; doneUnfortunately $i is deliminated by whitespaces in the filenames and not the actual folders.
$X contains only other folders so I dont have to worry about regular files but any kind of more "advanced" solution would work.
I should know this but I figured I'd ask before I screw something up.
What is the command to cp just and only the contents of a folder, not the folder itself, into a new folder?

Is this right?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been looking around online and I am seeing that there are several solutions for doing a nightly automated backup on Linux. I was wondering what people here actually use for doing such and why they use one particular backup method over another.
What I am looking to do is every night (at say 3am) I want my system to backup my 200gig Documents folder to my external hard drive. Does Ubuntu have a tool built in by default to do this or do I need to add something from the repos/online?
When I create a new user account and login the first time to Gnome a series of files and directories is created in the user's home directory. Those directories are for example:
.ICEauthority
.cache
.config
.dbus
.gnupg
Bilder
Desktop
Documents
Musik
Videos
Vorlagen
�ffentlich
How can I control what files and directories are created? I checked /etc/skel but none of those entries where there. In particular, I do not want to have the folders "Bilder", "Documents", "Musik", "Videos", "Vorlagen" and "�ffentlich" being created.
Is it possible to run OCR on new .pdf- and image-files in a spesifc folder on the server? Today the schools in the region was presented a tool that do exactly this, but of course this only runs on windows.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using ubuntu server 9.10 for a home build NAS. Everything is working great just have one more thing to figure out. I have Samba set up to access my files and I set up a recycle feature so anything deleted will get moved to a Recycled folder. (I learned this the hard way after hitting delete key by accident while browsing the shares in windows. Lost 100 GB of data)
Now it is for the most part working but the permissions on folders isn't getting set right. If I delete a file in a share I can go to Recycle bin folder and delete the file for good. But if I delete a folder I can not access that folder to delete or restore from the Recycle bin folder. I have to chmod the folder before I can do anything with it. Anything I can change to get folders deleted via windows to have the right permissions when it is moved to the Recycle bin folder?

recently installed Ubuntu Server 10 everything has set up just fine but the only problem i have is to get ubuntu to login automatically. The main reason for this is because i havent got a monitor connected if for whatever reason the server restarts its hanging at the login screen and i cant login via vnc to the desktop. The furthest ive got is for it to say at the login screen next to the name (user logged in). Any Ideas on how to resolve this? or if it is possible?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a problem while rebooting my 9.10 server when I have SAN partition mounted. The message is something about the swap that can not be cleaned during the process. All works if I unmount the partitions before shutting down or rebooting.So I though to create a bash script that unmounts the parts during runlevel 0 and 6.I've created a simple script like this in /etc/init.d:
#!/bin/bash
umount /mnt/xxx

I have just managed to get my wireless working with Ubuntu Server 10.04. However, I was wandering if anyone knows how to change the auto connection settings? I would either like to tell it which network to connect to (at the moment it automatically connects to the wrong one) or disable automatic connection.

View 6 Replies View Relatedi'm confronting atm. I need to create a folder where ppl can copy files and i need to be sure that those files cannot be deleted after they are copied there. The folder will be accessed over network, and i need to be sure no one will delete somebody else's files.Also i need to tell you that i'm working with regular users, so creating a folder for each user and chown/chmod-ing it won't do the trick(allready tried and ended up with a whole lot of files in the parent directory).I also tried chattr +a but that doesn't allow them to write new files in the folder.

I am able to view my windows network from my UBUNTU desktop after being prompted for a username and password to the windows network. No problem. But how can I accomplish this from the command prompt?
Here is my windows directory; smb://corpserver/d$/Data
And here is what I am trying to accomplish;
Code:
mv /var/lib/mysql/RSecuredData.csv smb://corpserver/d$/Data/Common/Secured%20R%20Reports/$(date +%Y%m%d)_RSecuredData.csv
Basically taking a csv file and moving it from mysql directory on my Ubuntu machine to a network folder on my windows server. (Windows Server 2003)
When I try that command from the command prompt I recieve;
Code:
mv: cannot move `/var/lib/mysql/RepoSecuredData.csv' to `smb://corpserver/d$/Data/Common/Secured%20Repo%20Reports/20100323_RepoSecuredData.csv': No such file or directory

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu 10.10. I want to copy all the pictures from various folders in my Documents to a single folder. So in Nautilus, I clicked on Places > Search for Files. Then chose the Documents folder and typed *.jpg in the search criteria. It found all of my pictures just fine. However it would not let me copy and paste them into a folder I put on my desktop. Copy is not on the "right" click menu and Ctrl C did not work for the highlighted search results. This is so simple in Windows but it does not seem to work in Ubuntu.
