Hi All; I ran Linux as my main laptop OS for several years, then I got into a mac shop and bought a macbook. The macbook is ok but it just doesn't cut it per productivity so I've ordered another laptop (a 64bit laptop with 8G of memory expandable to 16G and 2 internal 320G 7200rpm drives) I'll be loading Linux as soon as the machine arrives from Dell. Here's my questions:

Hi List; I just got a new server (my first **real** server). It's a dell 2900 : quad core XEON (with a spare slot for a 2nd quad core chip) 8G memory (expandable to 64G) 8 hot swap SATA HD slots onboard PERC6i RAID controller etc I initially setup the system / RAID as follows: 1) booted off the dell setup CD 2) walked through the RAID setup and formatted the drives 3) the setup bombed

Is there a standard way of copying a working system from one machine to another with different partitions? I have two CentOS-5.6 machines, say A and B, and I thought I would copy / on sdb10 on machine A to an unused partition sda7 on machine B with rsync. I made the appropriate changes to /etc/fstab and grub.conf , as well as /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts , but found that there were innumerable

Hello all, I'm new to the list, but have done quite a bit of researching before regarding the support of Mac OS X specific features (resource forks, extended attributes, ACLs, file creation & modification date). By reading the archives, I get the impression that the current version of rsync 3.0.0pre8 is quite far in this respect. At least it sounds so, and I thank the developers

Hello dear list! Just wanted to tell you that there's a simple and somehow smart backup solution using rsync named ccollect [0]. It uses the hardlink feature of rsync to create fullbackups with only minor size differences (it uesd cp -al and pax before). I would be happy for any critic about the software, the documentation the configuration style (cconfig [1]) and the idea itself. Sincerly

Hi list, I'm searching a valid backup system to perform backups of 3 server, one local and 2 remote, and 2 linux workstation. (this number could be higher in future). Currently I'm testing bacula, scripted rsync with hardlink and borgbackup on C8.1. Bacula works without any problem, well tested, solid but complex to configure. Tested on a single server (with volumes on disk) and? a

Hi All; after years of running free Linux distros I've finally come to a place where I must have solid stability for my work laptop so I've purchased RHEL Workstation. I like it well enough - however I'd like to install digikam and get my system to play mp3's. I'm thinking I could get both of these from a centos repository. What do you'all think? If so, could

Given all the vendors that provide this service with both Windows and Linux clients, Code42 is the only one I am aware of that supports sets. For me, this was essential to prioritize urgent data over low risk changes in the event a disaster occurs while a large directory is taking days to upload. I would use sets with priorities and any changed data that was important would interrupt data of

Hi All; I have a GPL question - sorry if it's way off topic. We're pushing on a system that collects a variety of data points and pulls them into a single report. One of the modules we use is a 3rd party tool that generates an html report which equates to one of the pages on the report that's then delivered to the customer. In this scenario is the code that generates all the

Hello List, i would like to copy/mirror/rsync the backup files from ServerA to ServerB. Since i must assume that ServerA is hacked (public server with a few services), i would like to "pull" the files to ServerB (save server with no services). That means i do something like: rsync -avz ServerA:/backup ServerB:/backup IF ServerA gets hacked and the files get zeroed out (every file
