I'm essentially using the following commands: mv backup.3 backup.tmp mv backup.2 backup.3 mv backup.1 backup.2 mv backup.0 backup.1 mv backup.tmp backup.0 cp -al backup.1 backup.0 rsync -a --delete source_directory/ backup.0/ I'm trying to backup two directories in a

Is anybody else having problems with CentOS 5 not loading the usb drivers for kickstart installations? I'm passing "linux ks=hd:sdb1:/ks.cfg," but I get a message saying it can't find the ks.cfg file and I should enter another path. I use the exact same boot options with CentOS 4 without any problems.

I'm running smbclient 3.0.14a-Debian. I'm trying to view shares on a Windows server on a Active Directory domain: $ smbclient //fileserver/ Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE I'm pretty sure the username and password is correct since it works when I use a Windows client to connect to the fileserver. What does the NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE mean in this

This may be a FAQ, but wouldn't SSH be more secure if the user can only log in if the server has the client's ssh_host_key.pub in its ssh_known_hosts file AND the user has his identity.pub from his client computer in the authorized_keys on the server? This would require two keys to be able to log in. I thought this was ssh would work with the following sshd_config file: --- BEGIN FILE

I've been installing CentOS via PXE and using a serial console interface. The installation works great.

after we switched to the WAN wins server. The samba server is still local, but in order for us to see the rest of the WAN, we had to switch from the samba wins server to the WAN wins server. The thing is, it seems to be slow only for Win98 clients. WinNT seems to perform without problems. The specific app is VC++ trying to read files off the server. When you click on a file to open, it waits

Hi, Need help on data recovery. Suddenly my disk device's geometry has been changed to something that doesnot make any sense. Its a 1.8TB in size and had only one single partition. Now I can see 3 partitions sde1, sde2 and sde2 of sizes 130M, 140GB and 10GB. Is there any way to recover data from these newly created disk devices? Thanks Paras.

I have a Dell 1550 that has Intel's 4.0.17 PXE 2.0 build 083. I am only able to boot using pxelinux 0.67 and older. 0.70 gets to where it would load the kernel and ramdisk and stops. Later releases just start spewing register data non stop: AX00000 BX00000 EX00000 and so on (numbers not real). Normally I would look at the code and try to fix this myself but my x86 asm skills are non

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to keep a mirror and 7 day incremental backup between to 2 mount points. I want to rsync everything from /mnt/production/ to /mnt/backup/production/ on the same server. Nothing fancy. But , I Want to utilize the --delete option for files that no longer exist on /mnt/production/ that have been on /mnt/backup/production/ for longer then 7 days. I

Well, I followed this link: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ and implemented it (with a bit of tweaking) on my home network. It is used to make snapshots of two Windows PC's over samba. On one of the machines (and not the other, from what I can tell) it deletes files from the target machine for no good reason (ie. they still exist on the source machine). Then, if I run

We have about 5 servers spread out throughout the country: 2 Centos 4.4, 1 Red Hat and 2 windows machines- looking for some good ideas for a back-up solution. Our servers hold a lot of data, but only a small portion of it is crucial on any given day. That crucial portion is always changing (for example, this week the crucial files all relate to November- current and previous projects, and the next
