Physically Erasing Data From Server
May 22, 2009
I'm moving some data over to another server and I want to wipe out everything on this server that I currently am using. There is some pretty sensitive information on it and I don't really want the datacenter to erase the data themselves. Is there a way I can do this using root?
Also I gotta ask, does CentOS still archive deleted files like windows? If it does is it possible to also write a script that will fill up the hard drive with ones and zeros so that I can be certain that all the data is gone.

Recently I changed server providers, so now I'm looking for a way to transfer all the data to my new server. I have a total of 420GBs of files in my secondary HDD that need to be transferred.
The old server is at a 10Mbps line, the new one is at a 100Mbps one. From old server, less than half the pipe is being actively used. So theoretically, I should be able to transfer it all in about a week.
I tried
1) SCP. That was waaay too unreliable. And I couldn't get it to restart from the point left on whenever the transfer stopped (like when the servers were restarted).
2) Transfer using a web script. Way too slow, got to about 35GBs, total would take like 2 months.
Is there any other, reliable way of transferring data from server to server?

Are there solutions to sync folders between local and remote servers with file encryption capabilities. I mean:
<source server, unencrypted> <----sync-----> <remote server, encrypted>
I need sync similar to rsync, secured data transfer and encrypted storage on a remote server, so even root won't be able to access the data.

DHas anyone got experience of having a web server and db server setup where the servers are in different datacenters? Is this a viable solution or would the performance of sites suffer too much due to the added latency? The only other problem I can think of is additional bandwith usage but that's not a major worry.
Reason I ask is beacause I've found and excellent deal for a DB server and would like to keep my current server for the front end..

My server HDD got corrupted. My server provider mount a new HDD for me, and put the OLD HDD as secondary drive.
This is what they emailed me:
[root@ns1 ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 149G 3.7G 138G 3% /
/dev/hda1 99M 17M 77M 19% /boot
none 498M 0 498M 0% /dev/shm
/usr/tmpDSK 485M 13M 447M 3% /tmp
/tmp 485M 13M 447M 3% /var/tmp
/dev/hdc3 149G 23G 119G 16% /backup
I have a forum data (files and database) that is still on the old HDD, I hope to retrieve it.
May I know how can I access to the data?
I tried SSH, can only go till /dev/, then don't know what to do.
What is the command in SSH that I should type in order to go to the 2nd HDD? How can I retrieve the database and files to my new HDD?

Just finished migrating server providers and our old servers are being canceled soon. Does anyone know how to delete all log data or any other cached files for security reasons? Is there a command in SSH that can wipe it clean? Without damaging anything of course.
Servers are:
Linux
WebHostManager

I have a project (using multiple servers) that has generated 3TB of data (compressed), with another .5TB or so each month, and the hard drives on my servers are very close to capacity.
The data doesn't need to be accessible online, so I'm trying to find a low cost way to deal with this data. Keeping the data on dedicated server(s) raises the monthly cost every few months, which isn't good. Transferring that much data to my location via the Internet is costly and inconvenient.
I'm thinking the best option would be to find a host that can ship hard drives to me, after I copy data over. Does anyone know if that is something that hosting companies are willing to do?

Does anyone know of any services that can help retrieve data from a crashed server. The server is managed but the support are saying that they are having problems retriving the data. The server had an os reload and they can't slave the old disk.

I have a crashed HD that I want to recover the data. I wonder if there is any method or software out there that can do this for me.
The hard drive is installed with centos and uses ext3 filesystem.
I have tried doing a mount, not if it is done correctly, but I only see "lost+found" on the hard drive.
Usually when this happens on my hard drive w/ windows, I use some data recovery software to extract the data. I don't know which software will do this for me on an ext3 filesystem running centos.

way to move data from one server to another? I have root access to both my servers, but I'm not sure how I would move one entire domain without having to FTP it. The databases I can do manually by importing a dump to the new server. I'm just wondering about the files itself.

I have 100+ sites on this hard drive, and one site in particular that meant the world to me.
My host sent the drive to Gillware first, but they failed saying that the file system was so severely damaged that they could not recover anything.
Then shortly after, my host sent it to DriveSavers, a very well-known company, but they also FAILED.
I'm extremely depressed because of this. Please don't post if you're going to say "make sure you do backups next time" because I've heard it 504329504395 times now, and while I do realize my mistake, saying that does NOT help me.
I am willing to spend ALOT to get my sites back. I still have hope. Are there any other companies out there BETTER than DriveSavers? Assuming that you'd still have hope even after two companies failed, where you would you go or what would you do?
