linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I am testing 2008R2 file server, and part of it, is that I need to create backup of the file and folders in it (mainly dev GIT repository - changes daily) I wanted to use Backup Services - however, when selecting to save to a remote folder (our backup server) there will only 1 version of the backup source kept I don't feel comfortable with that. I can always go and use scripts (our current solution) or even any other rsync or similar solution. My question: does anyone knows if this is how the feature is intended to be used? Does anyone have experience with fine-tuning this, so daily backu (HowTos)

I'd like to have different backup jobs scheduled at different times and frequencies (for instance, backup my Documents folder daily, but my music folder only on weekends), or backup daily to my local disk, and weekly to my remote server.

Remote ftp bakcup problem 39 weeks 5 days ago

Hello guys, i am experiencing the following problem: I have set up WHM to take a remote backup to a remote ftp server which is located inside my office. All accounts are backed up with no problem, but only one account has file size 0.

I'm trying to setup a backup script on Ubuntu. Every day I want to copy my local source directory to a backup directory on a remote server uniquely named with the date. (e.g., backup-jan1/, backup-jan2/, etc) It should store a mirror of the earliest state and use difference files to recreate the new backup points.

This is pretty simple with rsync.

We have a small, relatively idle Windows Server 2008 R2 installation that does basic file sharing and hosts Exchange for about 10 not very active users.

When running a windows server backup, the daily incremental data is about 20GB. This is not coming from users shared files, nor from changes in their mailbox sizes.

I have written a shell script that creates a backup of my MySQL database.

Hey there,

I'm currently using the latest Ubuntu on a computer I have, I want to use this as a backup server for the other computers in my house.

Can any of you recommend a good piece of software that runs on Windows(etc) that would backup to FTP of SFTP on the Ubuntu server? Preferably something that checks and updates only the latest version of a file.
