In the Linux Hacks book, one of the hacks goes over using rsync to do snapshots to another system. My NAS are configured to do hourly, daily and weekly snapshots to another NAS. Way cheaper than tapes, and much faster to restore in an emergency. HTH Mark

Relatively easy to do hourly snapshots with rsync from a single config file. alex

We got rsync all started when we were using Gentoo, but have since moved to CentOS. Right now I have seperate scripts for hourly, daily and weekly. The hourly does all the heavy lifting, with daily and weekly being simple scripts that makes hardlinks from all the hourly snapshots. All in all, it's pretty cool. Never have to flip tapes everyday in the tape library, works on holidays without missing backups and restores happen at network speeds. If you've ever tried to pull 100GB off of AIT3 tapes, you know what I'm talking about. Mark
What I do is mount the ext3 in ext2 mode and use mc to undelete all the files in another disk HTH Oliver Jerry Geis wrote:> I just removed a bunch of Personal stuff I should not have. > Is there anyway to undelete??? > > Jerry > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-- Oliver Schulze L.

We can't imagine there's a day when Christophe Grenier isn't swathed by offers of beers, steak dinners and marriage for TESTDISK and PHOTOREC, his two open source disk and file recovery utilities. The test TestDisk gives is sort of a final exam for your futzed partition block, quizzing your unreadable drive for tell-tale NTFS, HFS+, Ext3 or what-have-you data, and cribbing the lost partition data from what it finds. PHOTOREC gives up on such fripperies as a filing system and instead grubs directly on the drive for file data, spotting beginnings for popular file formats and having a stab at where their ends might be hanging. PHOTOREC, as the name suggests, started as a utility for clawing back pictures from bit-rotten flash cards, but can now sniff out files from Ogg Vorbis to Microsoft Powerpoint. Both utilities will run on Mac, DOs, Windows, Linux, and probably vegetable oil for that matter. Forget about them for now - when you need them, you'll find them. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download - though you'll waste an hour searching NTK for "olive oil" http://www.flickr.com/photos/manuelidades/113461346/ - voila! c'est un web deux point zero shot de screen Photorec might help if you know what you're after. It's often worth unmount a filesystem you've deleted stuff from and, if you have the space, just dd-ing the whole partition to another filesystem somewhere for later analysis. There's a good (if somewhat old) article on this from Sys Admin Mag: http://www.samag.com/documents/s=1441/sam0111b/0111b.htm Will
