Rsyn --backup --backup-dir Switches For Incremental Backs
Jan 26, 2007
I current do some rsync backups with a command like so every day
rsync -az -e ssh --stats --delete --exclude "stuff" / user@server:/home/user/
What I want to do is have some incremental backups in there in subdirectories. So, for example, something like this on the remote server
/home/user/something.tuesday
/home/user/something.friday
I thought the --backup --backup-dir Switches were used to store just the files that had changed in seperate directories, am I wrong on that?
I've read everything I could find, including the big rsnapshot scripts, but I'm not able to do what I want, it seems so simple but something's not right, am I wrong that subdirs should have just files that are new or have changed. I tried various things like this, but had no luck
rsync -az -e ssh --stats --delete --backup --backup-dir=/home.Thursday --exclude "stuff" / user@server:/home/user/

Does anyone have experience in backing up mysql incrementally? From what I've read in the docs it's possible using the binary logs but I haven't been able to find a good resource on how to make this work.
I have a database that is over 5GB. There are a few Myisam tables that are insert/select only and one innodb table that receives updates/deletes/selects/inserts.
Ideally I wouldn't have to backup the 5GB every night, I'd prefer to only get the items that have changed. If I could make this work, then I could also get backups more often rather than once a night.

I was wondering if I would be better to use incremental backup in cpanel instead of disabling the incremental feature and having tar.gz backup.
Im doing ssh overnigth on an offsite server.
Gzip is -rsync tagged when activated, as per this ccron command:
Quote:
0 1 * * * export GZIP="--rsyncable" ; /scripts/cpbackup
so they should be rsync friendly?
Whats your tougth on this?

What type of backup do you use with your host? (daily, nightly, incremental, etc)

I want to back-up accounts managed by cPanel/WebHostManager to a remote server. I want to be able to restore to any of the last 7 days. I believe doing an incremental back-up each night can accomplish this best, saving both bandwidth and disk space on the remote server.
Using the back-up functionality built into WHM is appealing because WHM knows what files need to be backed up to do a full restore. However, WHM can't do exactly what I'm looking for either. I've been looking into using rsync as described in this document:
[url]
It looks becaue of the "hard link" capabilities of linux, rsync can be used to create what functions like a full back-up every night but requires a full backup the first day and then each day after that only the incremental changes have to be transfered. However, because I don't know what directories need to be backed up, I'm not sure how to implement an rsyc solution either. (BTW, I want to back-up everything necessary to be able to restore each account except the log files. So, that means MySQL, mail, config info, and whatever the user has uploaded)

I have multiple backups stored under server repository (subscriptions --> <domainname> --> website and domains --> backup manager).
The physical files are located at: /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/904279/domains/<domainname>/
When I click the green arrow to download these files to a local computer (see attached image) I get a new page with title "Download the backup file". On this page I have the option to set a password on the downloaded file, but no matter what I do (password or no password) the file is not downloaded to my local PC. I don't get a pop-up box with the option to save the file. Just nothing happens ...

I have 2 problems:
Firstly I wonder if there is any possibility to limit the number of cores the plesk backup zipping tool uses? This pigz takes up all my CPU. Is there any way I can reduce the amount of cores it uses because all my websites are down every time a backup takes place for around 3 minutes.
Secondly I get the following in my syslog:
1 baby plesk sendmail[20189]: Error during 'check-quota' handler
I don't know what is wrong. I think it's since the upgrade to Plesk 12. I now have 12.0.18 Update #13.

I have an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit virtual private server with Plesk 12. The server is hired from a hosting provider. The server is used to run the Odoo ERP application (using postgres database).
The Odoo application is running fine and now I want to create a backup of the application using Plesks Backup manager.
I choose configurations and content option in the backup manager but the created backup is only 200kb.
I think the problem is the location where the Odoo application is installed is not included in the backup. I made a tar backup from the server and extracted it on my pc. It seems that the main parts of the Odoo application are in the var, opt, etc and usr directories (not in a domain but under root).
Installing the application in a domain would solve the Plesk backup issue I think but the installation script of Odoo puts Odoo in var, opt, etc and usr directories even if I put the install script in the directory of a created domain. Since the manual Odoo installation is complicated I am very happy to use the script.
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to include the directories var, opt, etc and usr in the Plesk backup and how and where do I do that?
2. Can I restore such a backup without no problem in Plesk?

my cpanel doesn't get backups. When I force it, it gives me this error:
mount: can't find /backup in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
mount: can't find /backup in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[cpbackup] Backup failed! /bekkaplars is not mounted! at /scripts/cpbackup line 415.
It's a vps. Another interesting thing is, my other 3 vpses run good even /etc/fstab has no line like /backup in there, also.

I would like to weight the benefits and costs of using remote backup and local backup to another hardisk? Let's assume the price is the same.
What's the benefits of using remote backup?
Is it secured to use local backup in another hardisk?
I'm running on linux centos.
What happend if hacker get hold of my server?
Currently, i have 80GB of diskspace. Does it mean i will need at least 80GB of ANOTHER hardisk to backup that?

I am building an advanced network in a big building which will be used by desktop/printers and backend thin servers, which requires high-available network and consume high bandwidth all this thru categorie 6 cables (RJ-45).
The idea is to build different path with optical fibers and to connect each part of the building with it's own optical fiber to the server room (where we run Microsoft company network servers, SAN, backup, and external access) using a 10/100/1000 switch and optical fiber for long distance.
So I though about using switches which have at least :
48 ports 10/100/1000 (auto negociation)
4 ports 10 gE
for now I will not use many features but with time I could create some trunk, and use some advanced *routing* (switching) features.
As the budget is also not unlimited, I thought about buying :
Edge switch :
§ HP ProCurve 2900-48G J9050A [url]
with X2 extension HP ProCurve 10-GbE X2-SC SR Optic J8436A [url]
Core switch :
§ HP ProCurve 6400cl J8433A [url]
As I am studying any network vendor (but not such as 3com, netgear, dlink, linksys), but more such as HP, Extreme, Cisco, Foundry I am opended to your model ideas for me needs!

I am in the market for some new switches and I was going to buy some HP stuff, but a friend of mine recommended 3com....their prices are dirt cheap....any experience with them?
Does anyone have any words to compare and contrast the two based on experience?
