So I thought I'd get a head start for next week - I have a low-power Linux box that has a few samba shares mounted, and limited hard disk space. This box is connected to a tape library via SCSI card. I want to find the best way to create a full, then incremental backup of the samba mounts, directly to tape. Some of the samba mounts are appliances that cannot run any special

So I recently installed an Overland Arcvault 12 tape library on a server to back up /var/log/ and /home. The server is an out-of-box RHEL 5 install, with all packages selected, in an isolated lan, with no package updates. Also, this is a live server that cannot be brought down for backups, and some files may be actively in use during the dump - just gotta live with it. Since I know EL5 and

Hey folks, I just went through the archives to see what people are doing for backups, and here is what I found : - amanda - bacula - BackupPC - FreeNAS Here is my situation : we have pretty much all Sun hardware with a Sun StorageTek SL24 tape unit backing it all up. OSes are a combination of RHEL and CentOS. The software we are using is EMC NetWorker Management Console version

BackupPC version 1.03 has been released on SourceForge, see http://backuppc.sourceforge.net. BackupPC a high-performance perl-based package for backing up Linux and WinXX PCs and laptops to a server's disk. BackupPC is highly configurable and easy to install and maintain. It uses Samba's smbclient to extract files from clients, and uses Samba on linux clients to serve up shares (no

I hear that backuppc does *not* have a native *Doze client. On the other hand, I know amanda's been around a long time, and it does. Opinions on amanda, folks? mark

I have an Overland Arcvault tape library, a CentOS 5 box, a Windows XP system, and RAID box that supports NFS and CIFS. The RAID box is remotely located and acts as central file storage. I might normally use dump to perform backups, but as was learned here, and on dump's man page, dump doesn't support remote file systems such as NFS or CIFS. So, for now, I've connected the

I'm busy migrating some older hosts to CentOS 7 but have found that the available amanda packages (see above) have not been compiled on a host that has the 'dump'

I have a couple C5 systems I want to back up. My plan is to, one way or another, back them up to a C5 machine in my office. I have samba installed on the systems to back up, the machines are mounted on the system in my office, and a tape library hanging of the system in my office. I was hoping to perform a simple /sbin/dump of the remote systems. I put together a script for another

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It works for me. I have three USB disks which are configured as 10 "tape" slots on each. I back up every few days to the disk, and about once a month take the disk into work and bring the oldest one back. Obviously the disk at home doesn't protect me against fire or theft, but it does protect against disk failure. HTH, Martin On

Greetings, I have a USB external 2TB HDD with one NTFS partition which is to be used for backup up from about 5-8 workstations (all Win*) all are shut down when the office is closed I am playing around with Amanda server on Centos 5.7. (It is over 3 years since I last implemented Amanda for about 50 workstations mostly Fedora and couple of XP boxes -- it sang and danced quite nicely.) Now the

Hi there. I'm using samba3x-3.5.4-0.83.el5_7.2 on CentOS release 5.7 x86_64 to mount a Terastation filesystem. The "file_mode" and "dir_mode" options to mount.cifs seem to be ignored; I systematically get a "drwxrwxrwx" permission, no matter what values I provide for these options: # mount.cifs //terastation/Backup /bkp/BackupPC/ -o

If you want pseudo-snapshots (not real point-in-time snapshots) you can use

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

I was a bit surprised to find that BackupPC does not seem to be available on my CentOS-5.2 system. What do people use to backup Centos systems? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Hello guys, hope i am not making an offtopic Currently we are looking for storage/backup solution in our company. Basically we need to backup data incrementaly from windows server and centos server + subversion repositories. So far i believe amanda would be best for this situation and also has good reference. Is there anything else - i would be glad to have space for research and choose
