Can anyone suggest a good open source/free backup software that works on CentOS? I was reading through the manuals on how to back things up and it said do 1 of 2 things. Buy a 3rd party software packages or make one from source. Well I have no clue how to do the 2nd option and I don't want to spend any money so I figured I would as you gurus. BTW I am newb so easier the software the better.

We are running backup softwares for incrementals/differentials and full backups with variouse softwares currently using dirvish scripts + amanda .. what is everyones views on other opensourced backup software? is there anything better or other options we have missed? We are looking at backula as an option? any thoughts? Thanks - Nathan - http://www.linuxcare.ca

I hope I'm not being too presumptuous or anything when I say this: could you guys please review the obj.ClangAST.vcxproj project and try to fix the ambiguity error? Reid asked me why I'm using C++17. I just want to use the latest released standard. Most if it still compiles anyway. So I'll stick with it. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I was just curious if anyone knew if any good backup scripts...I found one the other day on freshmeat called ibackup which does a great number of things, but I just wanted an idea of what was being used these days. -- Andrew Rice Jr

Hi, One of my CentOS 4 server is a repository for backups for other machines. In this server, there is a 3ware RAID card and 2 HDD for the OS + data of this server. I also have 2 drawers (each containing one 200GB hdd), connected to a promise TX2000 card. One disk will remain in the server and one will be taken outside. What would be the best strategy for syncing the hdd when I swap

I am looking for a simple backup program that I can use to backup a CentOS box to a local tape drive. Hopefully someone here can give me a recommendation. This is what I need: - Simple launching of manual backups (preferably from the command line) - Ability to span tapes for a large backup - Proper treatment of hardlinked files - Notification via email or similar when it is

I am pleased to announce the availability of Dirvish version 1.1 final. Dirvish is a fast, disk based, rotating network backup system. With dirvish you can maintain a set of complete images of your filesystems with unattended creation and expiration. A dirvish backup vault is like a time machine for your data. New features and improvements: * Completely reworked and improved

(I'm not sending this to dirvish@pegasus because I think that this message applies more to rsync's --link-dest option than to just dirvish.) I recently noticed a huge spike in dirvish network usage and traced it to files whose permissions had been changed. (with rsync v2.5.6) I understand and agree that a --link-dest copy of a source file cannot be hardlinked to, but couldn't a

I have a question that has been puzzling me for some time ... what is the reason RedHat chose to go with btrfs rather than working with the ZFS-on-Linux folks (now OpenZFS)? Is it a licensing issue, political, etc? Although btrfs is making progress, ZFS is far more mature, has a few more stable features (especially Raid-z3) and has worked flawlessly for me on CentOS-6 and Scientific Linux-6.

I was saddened to learn today that JW Schultz was found dead back on March 27th of this year. JW was a big help in the recent development of rsync and I sorely missed his presence during the last release cycle. JW was also the author of the Dirvish backup software, and Keith Lofstrom (who provided me with the sad news) has plans to put some memorial information onto the new dirvish site as

Hi! It's me again with another --link-dest issue: I am using dirvish (www.dirvish.org) to create daily backup on disk images. dirvish is using rsync with --link-dest pointing to the last good image. This creates images with hardlinks to unmodified files. So far so good. Now I want to create a "current" filetree with hardlinks pointing to the last image. rsync -vaH --delete

I just tried to copy several million files with rsync. Unfortunately, it seems to freeze: # rsync --delete-before -a -H -v --progress --stats /srv/backuppc-data/ /mnt/iscsi_backup/backuppc/ building file list ... 7891370 files to consider And it waits here. It was already copied once sussessfully, and this time, I just wanted to do an update. Destination filesystem is iSCSI, on another device

Hi, Whenever i am using the command rsync --write-batch -av --stats `cat $1` -e ssh user@remote machine:/destination/ This is writing rsync_argvs files in the home directory as well as to the destination directory. Can anyone give me any idea as how to prevent the writing of rsync_argvs files in the home directory which is of no use. Regards, Surabhi. > ---------- > From:

Hi all, I have a task on setting up a cluster of 2 servers for providing ftp service. We use RH's Cluster suite. However the cluster setup is lack of shared network storage, so the /var/ftp/pub is mounted on each server. The cluster is set with Master and Slave configuration (when the master is down, slave serves. and when master is up again, slaves gives up the service back to master). We

Hi all, I have installed rsync 2.5.5 as daemons on our 35 Netware servers (no 2.5.6 is yet available for Netware) and do a daily sync from a Linux Rsync client machine with 1.2 TB disk capacity. For the moment we do a daily, weekly and monthly backup on tape of this machine, but I'd like to replace the daily backups by a disc-based setup. It would be good to be able to share the
