Spideroak Backup

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hello, I'm pretty new to Linux and I've settled with Fedora over the last few months. Now that I've determined my distro, I'd like to get everything backed-up. I decided I like Spideroak over several others. I would like to fully backup my systems so that upon a new install, I'd be able to get my settings back for programs and services. I have my "/home" folder backed up and now the "/etc" folder. Is there anything else I need to check off to backup? Also, some of the folders are greyed out. Is there a way to undo that and allow them to be checked off? Do I need to (HowTos)

Stories similar to Spideroak Backup

Having successfully backed up two laptops, I turned to the main system and installed Deja Dup on that, and proceeded to backup my home folder( excluding various folders). As I now wish to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10, and then to 12.04 (following the route I took with the laptops) I want to save the backup folder to an 8G memory stick bought for the purpose.

Problem - the "Properties"

[ubuntu] Backup & Deja Dup 30 weeks 5 days ago

I am testing out the above before I install the 64 bit of 12.04. When I hit "restore" of Backup the computer does nothing. When I go to my Home folder and try to see the contents of my external drive that I backed up to I can't access it. When I try to "Safely Remove" I am told I can't. Finally just rebooted and everything was back to normal. Any ideas?

The actual backup folder (the folder which name is the date the backup was created) size is 17mb. while the "blobs" folder located on the clockworck mod folder is 929mb...

is this normal ?

PD: in fact, i have other nandroids stored on my pc which the backup folder is like 700mb-1gb, and there is no "blobs" folder.

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'm posting an update here to let you guys know how I got on (and the mistakes I mad on the way).After fixing the "deal breaker" problems with Arch so that things were working as I needed, I fired up clonezilla and backed up my Arch, Debian, /home and /boot partitions to my Backup folder on my separate data drive.

I use SpiderOak for online backup and file synchronisation (a la Dropbox.) I'm running it on my headless server via the SpiderOak --headless command.

At the moment, I have to start this manually inside a screen session to keep it running.

Hi All,

Hi!

For first - sorry for my english :)

My steps to restore backup:

1. Full wipe, clear cache/dalvik itd 2. Restore backup.

SGS3 wake up :) All it's ok (apps/settings etc) but when in try open gallery (images from camera) images dissapear. In first moment, when I open Gallery I have "old" list (from backup) of images, but I can't open this.

Hi, I am more familiar with windows so far. There I regularly use Ghost to backup my OS partition.

Is there anything similar on the Linux side?

I have used "dd", but this does not offer to search the file and restore dedicated files I probably have lost.

I can use "tar", but it is not on a partition-level.
