View 5 RepliesWhy does barrybackup only work some of the times? I can charge my blackberry and run a backup of it some of the times but I can never figure it out. It either works or I get the error "(-110, No error): Timeout in usb_bulk_read. There is no rhyme or reason to when it does or does not work. It does not work more than it does work.

Here's what I have planned:
machine: Core 2 Duo E8400, 8GB DDR2, 60GB SSD OS drive, ATI 4650 video card, other storage is flexible (I have 3 1TB drives and 4 750GB drives around that can be used in this machine.)
uses: HTPC, Network Storage, VMWare server host: SMTP, FTP server, and Web server virtual machines
I've figured out how to do much of this, but I haven't figured out how to do backups in Linux. I've been spoiled with Windows, with the built in backup system so simple to use. I find myself overwhelmed with the array of backup software, and unable to determine which to use. none of them seem to do everything I need them to do, but some come close, I think. I'm hoping someone here can help me out in figuring out which program to use and how to use it.
Here is what I need the backup software to do:
1. scheduled unattended backups, with alerts if the backups fail
2. a weekly full backup with incremental every 12 hours
3. removing the old backups when the new full backup runs, I would prefer to keep 2 weeks of backups, but that's not necessary
4. a GUI would be preferable, since my arthritic fingers don't always do as I want them to do. I typo things a lot, and the label worn off my backspace can attest to that.
How do you get Rsync to do incremental backups rather than full backups? At the moment I have a script that will create a backup folder (if it doesnt already exist) then copy the source files into the backup directory with the command
rsync $VERBOSE --exclude=$TARGET/ $EXCLUDE --exclude '/Ls-wtgl1c8/**' -rt --delete $source/ $TARGET/$source/ >> $LOG_FILE
Target is where the files will be backed up to Sources is the dir(s) to be backed up Exclude files is the list of files not to backup
log file is where the output will be saved to. At the moment it only does full backups, but I would only like to do incremental, how would this be achieved? Am I missing out an option in the Rsync that is required.
I'm writing a file handler script that monitors (via a cron job) a directory that is an openssh sftp target for new files. When it detects a new file, it moves it, does an scp to another system, and sends an email. The problem I have is that I can't figure out a way to verify that the sftp upload is complete before I start manipulating the file.

You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire One that runs Windows XP. I downloaded both the full Ubuntu (latest version but can't remember the number) and the Ubuntu for netbooks- each on a separate flash drive. I thought I had the netbook version in my Acer when I booted it up, but I saw it was booting the full Ubuntu version. Instead of allowing it to finish installing to run from the flash drive, I stupidly shut it down and removed the flash drive. Ever since then, when I try to boot my Acer, all I get is the black screen of death. I've tried the flashit.exe to flash the BIOS, but no luck. So, I'm guessing it's not a BIOS issue.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a command that can be run to verify that a users cron job has run successfully?
Platform is Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
I have scripts in /home/useraccount/bin/
running
crontab -l
While logged in as user results in:
# m h dom mon dow command
@hourly /home/useraccount/bin/script_1
@hourly /home/locateruser/bin/script_2
I realize scripts could send email or write to a log with a timestamp, but wondering if there is just a way to verify it ran from the command line.
I ran
ps -ef|grep cron
... and it shows
root 4358 1 0 Mar12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cron
Not sure if this indicates it is running the jobs though....
My question is not related to technical one,
1.I completed my Post Graduation in 2008,after that as of my personal interest on Red Hat, i took course on that and completed the RHCE certification.
2.Now im looking 4 opportunities on Linux Admin,i would like to know the roles played by an Linux Admin in real time scenario,im looking for an System Admin.
3.What i mean to ask is, what type of daily tasks does Linux Admin will do? Let me know the answers if any one know dis.
Let's imagine this can be done in Firstarter, as there already is a fine lockdown option there: A kind of RULE: on [program/service] exit/completion of download - then lockdown connection [usually the eth0].
[Edit:] Or for that matter, put a lockdown action on any premise like inactivity on port 80 or such (all the rest),
I'm running Debian Jessie 64bit, the X-window is xfce4, I found the 'OpenJDK Java 7 Policy Tool' entry is already under the Settings menu, it seems appeared after I customized jessie a little, that installing nvidia driver, virtualbox ose, adobe reader and adobe flash player. From console, I can check there is java, but no javac.For doing java programming, I don't know if the OpenJDK was complete installed or not, should I continue to use it or remove it to install Oracle JDK?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to get a summary of how much bandwidth a given process used on Linux after the process completes? I do not want a monitor, I want something I can look at after the task has completed..
Ideally something like the "time" command or a profiler, but for network usage.
For example I am copying data to USB-flash drive using some file manager. When the file manager shows that transfer is complete, flash drive indicator continues to light. As far as I know this is some kind of caching system...
1. Is it OK to close file manager when transfer window is closed but the flash drive indicator continues to light (data is still being copied)?
2. Is it better if I turn off this caching technology?
When I try to print something there is only some led blinks on printer and nothing is print. I am using drivers from brother(cupswrapper). I am using CUPS 1.3.11. I didn't have any problems on my previous installation of slackware(but I don't know which driver I've used).

View 5 Replies View RelatedI installed the 64-bit version of OpenSUSE 11.4 last week and tried to print from it today. I couldn't get anything to come out. I've tried both USB and network printing, and nothing ever works. Any attempt to print anything results in the HPLIP Status Service app telling me the job is "completed" immediately, with nothing printed, but the CUPS web interface reports "/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups failed".
It's connected to the network router and hp-setup discovers it when I use manual discovery and give it the IP address, but it still won't print even a test page, whether as root or as a user. I've also used the CUPS web interface to add my user to the list of users allowed to print, and added my user to the lp group. But I still get the same error and nothing ever prints.
I have a script:
Quote:
# Call mail script to send an email
if [ -f /tmp/report.txt ]; then
/usr/local/scripts/mail.pl
sleep 10
rm /tmp/report.txt
else
exit
fi
What I need to do is, I want to check if file exists, if file exists call other script (mail.pl) and then delete the file (assuming mail.pl script executed). If file not exists just exit out of the script. I'm not sure how I can see that other script execution completed or not before I delete the file even though I put sleep command. And also it seems like its not that good, even though it is working. I wanted to see if we can write in more efficient way.
As I have developed a part of my project based on crontab and now one of my team member has raised a question based on performance and load/stress, I would like to know the following limits of crontab.I assume each line in crontab file is a task; and also crontab would hold completed and pending tasks.1. How many tasks (both completed and pending) could crontab hold/handle?2. Will crontab run as expected if there are 100s of completed and less than 100 pending task?

I just backup my mysql db using mysqldump. I run it around 6pm of the evening but I just notice that on the last part of the dump file, it says "Dump completed on 2010-01-14 11:30:01". The time is "Jan 14 19:30" when I run mysqldump. Though the content is corrent, I still want to know why the dump reported it was completed but wrong time. I don't have my.cnf on my /etc so it means all was default by mysql. If I'm not mistaken, timezone by default in mysql is gmt.
My /etc/sysconfig/clock is
ZONE="Asia/Manila"
UTC=true
ARC=false
When I do "select now();" on mysql shell, it was the same with my system. I want to prove my backup was right but this thing confuse me a bit.
EDIT 6 Dec: More detailed log from wpa_supplicant I'm using Ubuntu Studio 10.10 x64. I want to get wireless networking going manually. My wireless networking works successfully in Windows 7 x64. I can get it working successfully without encryption but when I try and use WPA-PSK, wpa_supplicant gets stuck in a loop between GROUP_HANDSHAKE and COMPLETED, as shown in the log below.

I'm connecting to a F5D7633-4 router running F5D7633-4Av1_UK_1.00.010 firmware, which is the latest version of the firmware I can find. When I set up WPA, it uses encryption technique TPIK.

I backed my photographs with K3B in Suse, prior to installing Ubuntu. Now I can't access them. Well I can but not with Ubuntu or Windows 7. Suse (KDE) on the family computer reads them with no problem?? I'm confused. Is there something that KDE has that Debian doesn't. there's nothing wrong with my system exept for this. Reads cd's and dvd's.

I read this thread but it doesnt mention the software to use and I assume we wants only to be able to see it in Linux.
What would be the best way to have automated system backups? I'm trying to get it so my Xubuntu box automatically backs up the entire system including user settings on regular intervals, what would be the best way to do it? I have 2 hard drives with one that I do not use that I'd like to backup to.
