http://unix.stackexchange.com – On Mac OS X, right now I use the following to back up a small project folder to a USB Flash drive: alias a='alias' a dateseq='date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"' a backup_proj='cp -a ~/code/MyProj "/Volumes/KINGSTON/MyProj `dateseq`" so each time I type backup_proj, the folder is backed up from the hard drive to the USB drive, and each project is also internally version controlled using Git. Each folder is only about 500kb so it takes a long time to even fill up 1GB (the Flash Drive is 16GB). The folder is backed up as: $ ls -1 /Volumes/KINGSTON/ MyProj 2012-05-27 08:20:50/ MyProj 2012-05-27 10:2 (HowTos)

I am using a Ubuntu 10.04 Live USB. Its running on a 8gb flash drive. My system also has a 1tb hard drive which I want to share over the network. I managed to share the default Documents folder which is in the USB drive. But I am unable to share any folder on the 1tb drive. I am not able to change the permission settings on the folder properties.

Kindly advice me.

Saving to Drive / Dropbox? 12 weeks 5 days ago

I just got a Note 10.1. It's pretty neat, but I'm having issues saving things to cloud services. On my windows laptop, using Dropbox and Google Drive creates a folder for their files.

I'm new to Mac's.

I read this excellent tutorial on setting up File Sharing between mac's and vista pc's: http://tech.ifelix.net/3022.html

I've mounted the drive I wanted to share on the mac, and alias'd the folder that has full control to the mac's desktop - but the mac says I only have read permissions to it and won't let me write to it.

I recently installed Ubuntu(Oneiric) with Wubi allocating about 20 GB of space to the virtual disk.I have three partitions in my hard disk C,D and E.My windows is stored in C drive while my Ubuntu is installed in the D Drive.

My Hard Drive crashed having backed-up my folders to a seconf drive on the same system. After installing a new drive, I can see the backup folder with lots of files in it.

When I run DejaVu restore it says "nothing to restore" when I point it to the backup folder.

Any advice appreciated.

Ubuntu 12.04

I have been using a usb drive 512mb and I unmounted it lastnight and now one folder on there has lost its contents and if I go to drag anything into the folder I get an IO read/write error.

Is there a way to check the drive to see if it is faulty? And possibily recover or repair the files that are not apparently there anymore?

URGENT HELP

My boot drive has a /tmp folder on it and I have been mounting a secondary small drive in place of the /tmp folder using /etc/fstab

I want to do away with that and just use the /tmp folder that is on the boot disk.

I have an acer apsire timeline x laptop. When I got it, it came with win 7 and the drive did work. I switched it to ubuntu some time back, but the drive hasn't worked since then. I had been hoping that maybe a patch would show up but as of yet, still nothing. When I try to open the drive it just doesn't work.
