Time Machine Server on Fedora

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I was just wondering if anyone knew how to/or knew of a good guide to setting up mac Time Machine backup server on a Fedora 17 machine. I recently ran into an issue with my HDD and lost all of my data, so I don't want it to ever happen again, as it was quite traumatising. I just want to be able to back all of my data up on my Fedora machine from my Mac, at scheduled times when I connect to my home network. If anyone could help, it would be fantastic, I searched around on Google, but all of the ones I found were for older distros. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Time Machine Server on Fedora

I'm going to run rsync in daemon mode on machine 1 to backup data from machine 1 to machine 2. Machine 1 has a static ip address (Fedora 13 for now, until the back up of 2 is complete). Machine 2 uses dhcp (Fedora 17). The only ip address in /etc/hosts on machine 2 is the loopback address.

I've just converted a server from Fedora 14 to Ubuntu 12.04. "Converted" of course means a clean install.

I'm now trying to get all of the services back up and running and have some working pretty quickly, but I'm stymied on getting automount to mount work with a local directory.

System Restore 1 year 3 weeks ago

Apple users get 'Time Machine', Microsoft customers get 'System Restore' which seems to enable the user to return their machine to a previous state if an update goes awry, or some application creates so many difficulties that it's not worth having

What's the Fedora equivalent?

Because using deja-dup will save our data but nothing else, a Windows or Apple machine may be down for a few minutes

lxc and fedora 43 weeks 4 days ago

I've been thinking of using lxc on a machine running Fedora-??. I'm going to have a machine running Sol-10 and no longer have access to patches for it. As a result I can't patch it anymore and am thinking that moving the services running on the Solaris server to a machine running Linux.

My problem is that the Solaris machine has 9 zones running on it and would like to continue with that model.

Strange X server problem 3 years 23 weeks ago

I have recently installed Fedora 12, after many months of using Fedora 10 (and older releases as well ...).

I now find something very odd happening:

I use 2 other computers and switch between them with a KVM. I have never had any problems with this setup before.

Hello i run Fedora 17 x86 on my machine I have also other servers like Centos and Fedora 16 and imacs I want to have a normal functioning network

From my other fedora 16 server or my Mac i get this error while the openssh is running and is not firewalled, iptables is off and flushed (iptables -Z -F )

this happens all the time after retrying 10 or 20 times (random) i can connect.

ssh root@192.

I am using Fedora 17 and am trying to access a remote machine (running Fedora 15) using its hostname which isn't working. The machine is right next to me on the same switch as my machine (so they are both on the same network with the same subnet and everything).

Lets say there is Machine A (Ubuntu) in Network A and Machine B in Network B. There is also Machine C (Windows 7) in Network B and I can access it through RDP from Machine A. What I need is to be able to reach Machine B from Machine A (i.e. can ping it, connect to arbitrary port, etc). How can I manage something like this?

PS: Network B is a dmz, i.e.

Hi All,

I've been trying to work through problems connecting to the network for one specific Fedora box. The cable modem works fine when I use a different machine. But if I connect the Fedora machine to the cable modem, I can't start networking.

I just tried something different. I connected the cable model to a router, and then connected the Fedora machine.
