As part of my backup system, I use Rsync to keep a copy of each server on one central backup server. This backup server then uses StoreBackup to keep multiple iterations of each clone directory. So that the StoreBackup archives don't keep adding "redundant" and misleading backups, I update a flag file with the current date/time before doing the Rsync update, and test to see if this file is newer than the one in the latest S...

.... To backup this server I want to use our central to-tape backup. For whatever reason ppl are asking me to make one compressed copy to disk and only backup this copy. So to reduce load I'd like to have a script that: identifies changed files only (using md5?) copies them and compresses them storeBackup.pl does something similar, but keeps versions and creates hardlinks between them. (Is storeBackup in any CentOS repo? I know it from my SuSE box) Any ideas? Do I have to change storeBackup to my needs? (Would really hate that, because I'm not a Perl man) regards, Andreas

...than the > general purpose tool that rsync is intended to be. Yes, that is true. Rsync serves so well as a core component to backup, I can be blind about "something other than rsync". I'll look at the tools you suggest. However, you've made be a little apprehensive about storebackup. I like the lack of a need for a "restore tool". This permits all the standard UNIX tools to be applied to whatever I might want to do over the backup, which is often *very* convenient. On the other hand, I do confess that I am sometimes miffed at the waste involved in a small chan...

Hey guys, i tried to create a simple rsync script that should create daily backups from a ZFS storage and put them into a timestamp folder. After creating the initial full backup, the following backups should only contain "new data" and the rest will be referenced via hardlinks (-link-dest) This was at least a simple enough scenario to achieve it with my pathetic scripting skills.

...called (for example) "new" or "in-progress". If, and only if, the backup completes, then rename this to a timestamp. If when you start a new backup, if the in-progress folder exists, then use that and it'll be freshened to the current source state. Also, have you looked at StoreBackup ? http://storebackup.org I does most of this automagically, keeps a definable history (eg one/day for 14 days, one/week for x weeks, one/30d for y years), plus it keeps file hashes so can detect bit-rot in your backups.

Hi list, is there any working solution for deduplication of data for centos? We are trying to find a solution for our backup server which runs a bash script invoking xdelta(3). But having this functionality in fs is much more friendly... We have looked into lessfs, sdfs and ddar. Are these filesystems ready to use (on centos)? ddar is sthg different, I know. Thx Rainer

Hi all! I'm building a raid box to use for backups, connectivity will be either USB3 or esata. Looking for suggestions on backup software I can use. I know there's rsync, which may be a good solution. I also find backupPC at epel, backintime also at epel, kbackup. DejaDup looks interesting, but none of the repos I'm set up to use shows it being available. some small details: I

I list, I'm new with backup ops and I'm searching a good system to accomplish this work. I know that on centos there are bacula and amanda but they are too tape oriented. Another is that they are very powerfull but more complex. I need a solution for small office for disk storage and I found Backup PC. Many people say that it is great for small stuff and for great number of data. What do

...allel. -- BackupPC. Easy to use, nice user interface with graphical recovery of individual files. A pain to set up, basically, all errors in setup give the same error message. Reduces used space by hardlinks. Data structure is not transparent, so no recovery by browsing the storage directories. -- storeBackup. easy to use, easy to set up, but no nice user interface. Reduces used space nicely by using hardlinks. Used as second line of defence. Stores 1:1 copies of original filesystem, so easy browsing. -- tar. Used for disaster recovery. Produces large dumps. Only use it for system data, not for user dat...

So unless you have specified this, then files which have already been copied should be ignored - the check should be quite low in CPU, at least compared to the "cost" of

The think here is that you are into "backup" tools rather than the general purpose tool that rsync is intended to be. storebackup does some elements of what you talk about in that it keeps a catalogue of existing files in the backup with a hash/checksum for each. I'm not sure how it goes about picking changed files - I suspect it uses "time+size" as a primary filter, but on the other hand I know for a fact you c...

Hello, I have Novell Netware File server. Which is mounted as /mnt/novell on one of my Linux m/c. I want to take backup of Novell Server to my Linux m/c. I need everyday backup of Novell server to be taken on Linux m/c. I don't want full backup every day but I need an incremental backup. I do not want to delete any old directory or files. I have taken script from rsync examples, and

Hi all, I''m doing my first xen, running with 3 domU perfect. I need to know which way to backup domU to restore these to another server if i''ve problem with this machine. There are 3 LVM with 10G in VolGroup01 for each domU, with each of these partitions: /dev/xvda3            8,7G  1,4G  6,9G  17%

Hi Everyone, I started a social networking site and I am getting ready to go live next week. I have limited fund as I am not funded yet (although hopefully soon). I have an extra Mac Pro (I know, how can I possibly call a Mac Pro dual 2.8 quad core with 16gb RAM extra). So Mac Pro quad Core, 16gb RAM, 4 x 1tb RAID level Seagate drives. I was going to load CentOS 5.4 on it, web, mysql

Hello, I want mount directory of one server to another over internet. I was looking to NFS4, but there are no security mechanisms. I need encrypted connection using private key (something like SFTP). Or - if there is in CentOS repo (or EPEL) package, that can mount directory over internet using private key and make differential backup (like rdiff-backup). Thank you very much for links or other
