http://serverfault.com – I'd like to migrate my storage server from Linux (Debian) to FreeBSD. Biggest part of this is restoring backups saved on Linux to tape volumes on the newly installed FreeBSD.

Hi all,First off, I might've posted this in the wrong section, but since this isn't about #!, nor Linux specific, I thought it wouldn't fit well in the Help sections.So lately I've been looking at some BSD Os's, FreeBSD in particular.

Published at LXer:

I've got some data that is being backed up to tape via bacula, and at some point soon I am going to need to migrate to non-tape storage.

Bacula supports to-disk archiving, but it occurred to me that if only there was some virtual tape library interface to S3 or openstack Swift, or some other object store service, I could just swap out the configurations and maintain the pre-existing archiving, ag

Debian gives FreeBSD some love 3 years 36 weeks ago

Netcraft hasn't confirmed it, but the upcoming release of Debian, codenamed Squeeze, will be available in a juicy new FreeBSD flavour alongside the regular Linux version.

I'm looking for a bit of advice on transferring a several files from Windows-based workstations to a Linux Server running Ubuntu Server LTS 10.04. At the moment I've been mounting the shares on the Linux box and rsyncing them, but I'm not sure if this is validating the data that's being sent.

If you want to rid your system of OS X altogether, I found that if I get to the Disk Utility, and do the 'Erase Disk 7 Times' thing, then install NodeZero which is a modified Ubumtu Distro for PenTesting, I get a fresh clean and smooth Linux going. After that all the other "Live" Installers like Debian, and PC-BSD/FreeBSD work fine, so far as of a couple weeks ago.
