similar to: Backing up CentOS

Hi, I've got Samba 2.0.2 and a server NT4 SP3 with Seagate BackupExec 7.0. When I want to backup Samba with Seagate BackupExec, I get a message saying "Unable to connect to server, <F5> to retry", and then another one saying "A device specific error occured". I've read all the Samba archive about that subject, but I do not find any solution. I don't

I couldn't help but take notice at some of the responses that were coming in from when I was posting questions due to my ignorance of Linux. Some people were quick to help, some advanced users I am sure ignored me because im not worth their time, and then some other users tried to help but was unable to dumb their speech down to newb levels. However I am thankful that there is people here to

If you can see the server, but not shares, you most likely have not published any directories. What version of the BE agent are you using? I've noticed 4.6 works well (the install actually works well and will walk you through the setup to publish the directories to be backed up). It's often easier to just publish root (but exclude /proc /tmp). Also, I've found out that in the hosts

Ok guys a quick newb question. I have been reading up on the Red Hat Enterprise 4 for dummies book along with installing and playing with the configurations of Cent OS 4. I have yet been able to find any information on how to find out what your IP address is. I have it set to use DHCP from our Windows server and I looked under the network card configuration settings but can not find any command or

Is there an improved BackupExec Unix agent available that works with Samba? If not, can someone tell me how to work around the lack of the archive bit that Linux has? In particular, RedHat Linux 7.2 is the system I'm looking for help on. I found the following hints in an older version of this newsletter, Samba Digest, Vol. 3, Issue 34, sent March 21, 2003, that had this in it: Yes, we have

Hi all, Thanks is advance for any help you can offer - I just inherited a Samba file server in my new position, and am familiar with Samba, but no genius in it. The problem is that we need to upgrade our Windows 2003 domain, and our Samba server - version 3.0.10-1.4E won't connect to a Windows 2003 active directory. So, we have to leave a Windows 2000 DC running to authenticate to it.

Hi. I''ve used ghost for change the ide disk for an array of scsi in raid using an adaptec controller 2110s. Now when I boot it didn''t boot correctly.

Hi, I am trying to install CentOS 5.2 on a Dell PowerEdge R905, and a problem that you run into is that the DVD Drive on the system is not recognized by the kernel. I have done some searching on the web and found http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_103_13121.shtm and obtained the driver disk that it mentions. Having followed the instructions I can see and select the driver disk image but the

Hi, Does anyone have experience with BackupExec and Samba? BackupExec refuse to access Samba shares. Windows shares are OK, but all my Samba shares are not. I have Samba on at least 2 Linux 2.4 machines + 1 on Solaris. Neither ones work with BExec. Any idea? Other have experience with BExec and Samba?

I think im using Gnome but im not sure. As for using logout command it didn't work that's why I got puzzled and had to ask online since I couldn't find the GUI one which was there but apparently im too blind to see. Speaking of GUI side of things that's why I made the comment about no search features in CentOS. None of my menus offer a search feature in the GUI so I would have to

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.

I'm trying to install a custom greeter into a newly installed 64-bit Centos 5 system. I originally tried to modify Xsession to include xpop /path/to/text_to_dispay as the first executable line, but that didn't work. Then I read about gdmconfig which led to gdmsetup which led to custom.conf. Nothing, so far, is producing a custom banner prior to login. Is this an issue with CentOS

Hi all Does anyone have a working HOWTO on how to install Windows XP / 2003 (32bit) on CentOS 5.1 x64 (or any other linux for thar matter) with Xen 3.1 ?
