I need to back up a Windows computer to a Ubuntu server across the internet. It needs to be secure as I'm transferring business data. I have been searching high and low and am only coming up with sporadic, half solutions.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a little home server with Ubuntu 10.10, actually it is already backing up my web hosting daily via a cron.daily script.. But I would like to do the same with my Windows laptop, which would it be the best way to do so?
since the Ubuntu pc is (almost) always turned on it would be no profit to have it mount the Win PC at startup, indeed I could have a cron.hourly script to check if the Laptop is connected to the network and to back it up once a day, thus by checking a small text file with written the date of the last backup BTW how do I check if the Win PC is connected to the network? How do I mount it via samba? Do you suggest to backup stuff simply moving files, via tar (as I already do with my web host) or with rsync?
Here's the situation:
I have Ubuntu 9.1 with wubi and Vista on my laptop. I was playing my laptop through the TV, then I tried to switch it back to computer control and the computer went black. I had to hold to power button to restart, and suddenly grub4dos starts up when I try to launch ubuntu. I can still launch Vista. Is there anything I can do to save my system? At the very least, I would like to be able to copy data from my ubuntu system to my vista system. How can I do that? I can't find C:/ubuntu/disks. It doesn't seem to exist.
there are two computer
wireless internet accessible notebook.
desktop with no wireless card (but just normal lan card).
I connect two computer with lan cable, and I want to use internet in desktop computer through the notebook's wireless lan
what kind of setting do I have to do?
desktop's OS is Ubuntu, and notebook's one are Ubuntu, Windows XP.
Is there any computer management software like Cafe123 for Windows? Some friends of mine tried to reduce the cost for setting up computers by making one of the counter/server using Linux, instead of using Windows. And another reason that he want to avoid the counter server from being infected by malware such as those malware spread using usb drive. EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention that, the server intended to use will be powered with Ubuntu, and the client computers will using Windows XP instead.

I recently got Gnome 3.0.2 for my Ubuntu 11.04 distro, and I actually like it a lot! With that said, I want to get a netbook and use my exact set up on that, instead of my current desktop. I got Ubuntu 11.04 from downloading the ISO to a USB, and I thought that I could find the ISO in Ubuntu to start up the Startup Disk Creator.... and nothing.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAny ideas how you unfreeze a computer?
Last night I decided to download a few games using a different tool to the Synaptic Package Manager. I can't think of its name at the moment but it gave a brief description of each app with a tiny screen-shot. I'd like to find out its name but the only thing that will move is the mouse pointer.
I left the computer alone last night thinking that I'd given it too much to do and thought that it would resolve itself when I woke up. Sadly the computer is still frozen with only the pointer moving around the screen.
Is there any way that I can get the computer back to life?
Or is my only option to hit the Off Button?
I want to change my computer back to its original self cause i have two computers in Ubuntu OS and i really just want one on it. My question is how can i change it back? I had Windows XP before ubuntu.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI used to like having that Red Shutdown Button on the top panel in the far right corner next to my name on older Ubuntu versions. It was easy to add with the 'Add to Panel' right-click feature that Unity eliminated. Is there a way to put that Red Shutdown button back on the far right top? IMHO it works better than the present Unity shutdown button.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Compaq Presario CQ60 with Nvidia GeForce 8200M graphics card. When I first installed Windows 7 followed by Karmic in dual boot I could boot into both OS. Now when I try to boot into Windows, it displays the Windows logo and then drops back to the grub menu. It may have started happening after Windows 7 installed updates. I tried reinstalling both Windows and Karmic again and it again worked initially but now Windows no longer boots. Does anyone have any suggestions about what may be causing this or how I can fix the problem without reinstalling?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where I am trying to move some data from a Linux computer to a Windows computer. In all there is 700GB of data to move in about 1.5 million files, so I don't want to do this over the network.My first thought was to use an external USB hard drive and create an NTFS partition and copy the files from the linux computer to mount on the Windows computer. After 4 days of copying without completion I abandoned that idea. I thought the NTFS might be slowing it down, so I created an EXT3 partition. 4 Days later it was still copying. I did some calculations and there was no way the USB 2.0 connection was that slow. I then used ddrescue and cloned the drive to be copied overnight and it took about 12 hours. i was able to mount the USB drive under Linux and access the files appropriately. The only problem is that I can not access that USB drive on my Windows 7 computer. I have tried Explore2fs, DiskInternals Linux Reader, and Ext2 Installable File System For Windows, but none of them is recognizing the external drive.

Now I have to computers running Ubuntu. So for example, if I want to install TuxPaint on my first PC then I would go to the software center and it would download then install the software for me. Now if I wanted to install the same program on my second computer it would download it again. The problem is that this would download twice as much from the internet. Is there any way that I can save internet bandwidth by using the download files from my first computer to install the program on my second computer? Similarly, can I only download updates once but install them on both computers?
As a completely new user of Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, I will no doubt be asking some pretty basic questions, first. in Evolution Mail I am unable to get in or out it merely shows waiting, as Firefox is workingI am connected to the net (hard-wired to broadband wireless router), suspect I put dud info. in the initial set-up, but cannot find how to edit or re-enter these parameters.

I just upgraded from Suse 10.x to 11.2. Unfortunately, I didn't use 10.2 much and I('m a bit overwhelmed by the upgrade. Any advise is greatly appreciated.
After my upgrade, I lost Internet access. I don't really know my way around too well, but I did try to ping my router, but had no success. (Although I can ping 127.0.0.1).
I'm guessing that this means network access is not configured, although it looks OK to me.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI seem to have gotten a bit overzealous and gotten myself into a problem. I've managed to install Ubuntu 9.10 on a Compaq CQ50 Laptop so that it dual-boots with Windows Vista. Everything initially was working fine - Vista and Ubuntu worked side by side pretty well, and it all seemed hunky dory, until I shot myself in the foot. Basically, whenever the computer was booting I would first see the Windows Boot Manager, followed by the GRUB boot manager when Ubuntu was selected. Since both boot loaders had options to boot into the other OS, I figured that it wouldn't hurt to set Windows Boot Manager to 0 seconds display time, thus removing one small step in the booting process. Unfortunately, now when I choose to boot into Windows via GRUB, it briefly flashes up with the Windows Boot Manager and then kicks back to GRUB, and nothing I do seems to let me get back into Windows. I've tried booting from a Vista disk and using Bootrec /FixBoot, I've tried reinstalling GRUB and getting it to update its boot tables, I even tried installing LILO. So far, nothing seems to be working.

I basically need to be able to start work on something here on my desktop and continue that work seamlessly on a laptop or netbook as I'm moving around. I want to be able to literally pick up exactly where I left off and control my host computer's mouse pointer location, keyboard, etc and not have to open any windows: I need to be able to start from EXACTLY where I left off.
