Linux Anybody?


Recommended Posts

i was looking for an automated solution where the backup is done regularly.

How regular, and how much are you backing-up?

 

Try Nitix if you want a hot-swap solution

Or browse around sourceforge for a cool script. (It was tempting to search one for the post)

 

Or you may, BASH!:

1! do 'dd' or cp -r, tar, or

2! just update a pre backed-up copy with use of touch, diff, "logs sniff", >-cat-grep, ...Oh yes, and

3! svn, csv, bzr (what else???)

4! or just image copy

 

all triggered using the clock or a coffee-with-mug maker HA!

hehe...wonder if the gods went through this? :wacko:

hmmm...cron jobs might be a good solution.

 

btw, am using ubuntu feisty fawn. :)

 

 

Yeah, once you have the script that does the backup just create a cron job for it and your good to go.

Found a tutorial on how to setup the backups here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=240326

 

I haven't tested it as I don't have an Ubuntu installation yet. Still planning to test Gutsy one of these days.

i already tried using linux. but i can't seem to get hooked into it. the reason is because i got so much dependent on windows applications, games etc. i know a few linux tricks like mounting a shared windows folder, transfering files windows to linux and vice versa, etc. btw i am using redhat

 

given the numerous advantages of using linux its definitely worth the pain of withdrawing from windoze.

well read. i know its free. "cost" as to does it sacrifice its stability and rock solid performance as opposed to being everything for everyone and usability? the closest that has come to this is OS X but even it cannot be that for everyone against windows. opening yourself to usability will necessitate being vulnerable to flaws and yes, also bloat. thats why i like linux. streamlined, free, and a solid OS. but it sure isnt for everyone.
