I think it was this list that someone had said they were using arkeia. Could that person or anyone for that matter who is using arkeia please contact off list? Sorry if I was mistaken. -m

...for backing up user data to disk. My user data is all in /home. I'm also interested in what folks are doing for things backing up os and configs. Any pointers on setting up rsync, cpio, etc would be appreciated. Pointers to good how-to's especially welcome. Currently we're using Arkeia Network Backup (commercial product with which I am in no way affiliated), and it's great, but with disk space so cheap, I'd love to be able to take my current non-raid setup and find a way to get up and running quickly in the case of some failures. Thanks in advance, -Ray

We are running backup softwares for incrementals/differentials and full backups with variouse softwares currently using dirvish scripts + amanda .. what is everyones views on other opensourced backup software? is there anything better or other options we have missed? We are looking at backula as an option? any thoughts? Thanks - Nathan - http://www.linuxcare.ca

I need to downgrade a system from Centos x4.2 to v3.6 (x86) due to performance problems with Arkeia Network Backup and AIT-4 tape drives. The backup database is stored on a v4.2 created ext3 partition. When accessing this partition after the downgrade, Centos complains on boot that fsck.ext3: Filesystem has unsupported feature(s) (/dev/sda5) *fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck! [fail] If I com...

I need to recommend some backup options for a web server running CentOS 4.1. The client prefers using a tape drive as their backup device and has access to safe offsite storage. I was thinking of system backups weekly and differential backups nightly but don't know what software to recommend for the differential b/u's. For full backups I can just schedule a tar and compress using

Hi, I looked though documentation and also checked last 9 months of archives, but could not find the corresponding information. We are having an issue with incremental backup with arkeia. Arkeia checks if ctime/mtime of the file are changed, if so, it backs up. I realized that when I ran rsync from a cammnd line, it changed ctime, and preserved atime of the file in a destination as follows even though a file has no change in its content. Is this a expected action for rsync...

...amba 1.9.15p8 under IRIX 6.1 (yes I know, it's old stuff ...) The susers on Windows 9x/WindowsNT just put their strange file name or directory name (like /usr/people/mesure_?t? ) on the IRIX. However, from the IRIX side, it's impossible toaccess to such files/directory. What's more, my ARkeia backup client stalls on such a name and fouled up my backup database... NB: Oops: for those that can't read the lines over there /usr/people/mesure<eacute>t<eacute> . French e accent aigu... I suppose WindowsX users use a symbol set different from the IRIX one. Is there a way fo...

I am a long time FreeBSD user and have been using dump/restore for many years for disk to disk backups. Now I am getting more and more into FC4 and CentOS, but am I stuck on only using tar/star for backups? Tar in its various forms are fine for some items, like home directories, but dump and restore in FreeBSD also gave me the possibility of easily doing a bare metal restore. What are my

...o this bug. I have done successfull an ext3 filesystem check but this error occours then againa few hour's / day's later affecting a different file... (Sorry i cant tell if the fsck cleaned the file correctly, because i deleted the affected file and used a backup. Unfortunately now the arkeia restore database is affected and i have to rebuild it from the tapes, which takes some hours to complete...) At time of my first posting to this group's somebody told this is a known bug and is fixed since 2.4.18. I have upgraded from 2.4.17 to 2.4.18 to 2.4.19 and this bug affected from...

I am at my final stages of switching my file server from my ageing Novell Netware 5.0 to Linux Suse SLE9. All my workstations are WinXP and Win2000 so I am relying on samba for file sharing. My last stage to resolve is having a backup strategy for the server. I already have a SCSI HP Dat drive I can install in the server but need some easy to use software to back my files. It would need to be able

I'm having particular issues running Veritas in my Windows environment. The agent just seems to baulk on some servers. I've looked into backup solutions running on Linux before but there doesn't seem to be much. Is anyone familiar with something that has Windows agents and yet managed by Linux? <<JAV>> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

We're going to replace an older Solaris7/Netbackup/TapeRobot server with a new Centos box using backup-to-disk-to-tape (probably using Arkeia). The specs are up in the air, but generally: - CentOS/RHEL friendly (3Ware SATA? SCSI?) - 2U/3U/4U-ish form factor - hotswap RAID5 - dual PS, hotswap a plus - USB2.0 port(s) (*) To give you an idea of where I'm starting to look, take a gander at this page: http://www.serversdirect.com/syste...

Sorry but things clear a bit now ;-) i ran out of inodes on the filesystem, which is used by the arkeia database. It would be nice if the kernel loggs this condition a bit more clearly ;-) So i guess this time this "bug" is not the same seen corrupting files a few month before. mfg -- Jens-Uwe Katolla katolla@otris.de otris software AG h...

Guys, I've been searching for a Windows based backup solution for the SAMBA shares on my Linux server (a Cobalt Qube) since last November, trying both Seagate Backup Exec and ARCserve but with no success. I've been monitoring this list and tried most of the suggestions, but nothing came close. I'm pleased to say that I've found a solution that works for me ... Dantz have

good day... well just need some good input on how to backup a samba server, and to preserve the posix-acl's.. got 1 pdc and 1 bdc running, but it seems that there isn't a good way to make a backup with acl.. nfs4 doesn't have anny good support for acl's (yet) so i tried to mount a samba share with mount -t smbfs.. no acl's there ?? so please is there a protocol/service that i

Is it possible to share a tape drive using Samba. I have a tape drive that is attached to a Solaris box, that I would like to use to backup my entire environment; Solaris and Windows. If this is possible, how should I configure the smb.conf file. Thanks Nate Grissom ngrissom@netzero.net -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
