linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I just upgraded from 10.10 to 12.04. I hesitated because I am not to fond of the new screen but I will get used to as has everyone else. I installed MS Office 2007 by way of Crossover but my problem is I don't know where it is. Because I wanted to backup my hard drive and I tried Lucky backup without much success so I decided to try Norton Ghost. I installed that on 12.04 but I can't find that either. I know it's in here but where. I looked in Dash, Home, Home Folder, System Settings! Where oh where can my programs be? Any help will much appreciated waltwin (Hardware)

Norton Ghost is a powerful software for computer backup and recovery. Currently, Norton Ghost reach version 14 that offers more stability and features. The backup feature on this application is very useful. I use NG 14 to backup my Windows XP server and clients.

Norton Ghost 15 was Released 3 years 1 week ago

The new version of my popular backup software already released. Here is the new Norton Ghost 15. This is the latest version of Norton Ghost that features many interesting tools and capabilities.

So I'm new with ubuntu and so far I just love it :) I am now thinking how to perform full system backup, so that all my system settings, all my programs and packages and everything I've tweaked so far (desktop environment, window manager, etc.) is recoverable.

I could use deja dup or any other backup origram to backup the /home folder.

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"

I have the folder "Backup yzT Jan-01-2013". I've made also a script for do a backup everyday.

The problem I'm facing is how to rename the folder day by day according to date? Get the new name is easy, it's just

"/home/yzT/Backup yzT `date '+%b-%d-%Y'`"

However how can I select the folder "Backup yzT Jan-01-2013" exactly? Because every day it will be different.

Spideroak Backup 41 weeks 4 days ago

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've recently installed an openbox version of cb-a2 and noticed one problem. Once I've installed crossover office and restored my backup-archive for microsoft office (only word and excel there) there are not open with menus. However I did the "set-file types" inside COO, no files in home/.local/share/applications/ where created to support "open with".

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.
