General :: Compress Some Folders Containing Backup Files From Last Year?

Jul 24, 2010

Today I tried to compress some folders containing backup files from last year. I right-clicked on the folders and selected compress as tar.gz. I let it work, and found that hours later, the folders were still compressing. How long is it supposed to take, anyway? I was trying to compress the two sets of backups simultaneously; together they're around 1.5 GB. They have many subdirectories.

Ubuntu :: Compress And Encrypt Files / Folders?

Oct 30, 2010

I currently have a bash script that runs and backs up my daily files onto a separate partition using Rsync, but I thought it would be good to use the Ubuntu-one service as an ADDITIONAL backup for really important files.

How do I compress then encrypt those files, and can I add any commands that will do this to my existing bash script?

I am running Ubuntu 10.04

CentOS 5 :: Compress Files / Folders With Low Priority

Oct 23, 2009

Is there is anyway, with tar, zip, gzip, or any file compression type to compress without causing high CPU. In other words, limit how hard the CPU works to compress it? Of course I understand that this would cause the compression to take longer but time isn't too big of a concern.

Jul 31, 2010

I want to package my application for linux, I use zip/tar.gz/7z/rar to do the compress in Windows.Because I do the compress in Windows, so when I extract the package in Linux, the file permission is reset.The problem is Only the tar.gz can let me extract runable files, other format (zip/7z/rar) not (the file permission is reset to 644).So my question is how to compress my files using zip/7z/rar while reset the permission to 755.

General :: Find And List Files Created In A Particular Year?

Jan 31, 2011

How to find and list files and directories present the current directory which were created in, say, years 2005, 2006, and 2009 and then move them to some other location, for example, /backup. Yes, I need to list them and move simultaneously. We can use:

Code:

find . -mtime n {};

but that n is troublesome for me to figure out files/directories created in years 2005, 2006, and 2009, for instance. Is there any way to match exactly by Year Value rather than calulating the "n" (days * 24 Hours)?

System Info:

SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise

Ubuntu :: Compress Tar Files For Backups?

Oct 25, 2010

I just read in my Linux+ resources that it is not a wise idea to compress tar files with gzip if my tape drive supports compression. In addition, the resources mention that using gzip for tar files runs the risk of data lost if an error occurs with the compression.

Does anyone compress tar files for major backups/restore policies?

Software :: File Extractor (rar, 7z, Ect) For Part Files Compress By Winrar?

Apr 12, 2010

I download a lot of files that have been compressed into separate pieces by winrar, so that a 4gb file will be shown as dozen or so 93mb peices. In windows, using winrar, extracting them was rather easy but in Kubuntu whatever default program is being used throws a fit. In a perfect world I would want to get a open source alternative from synaptic, alternatively anything I can download in RPM I can eventually figure out. I want to avoid trying to get winrar working under wine.
