Just wondering if you guys had any resolutions to this. We are looking to save space on our rsync backups.
I know you can use the --compress, or -z and it compresses data on the fly to save bandwidth but is there anyway to keep the data compressed so it takes up less space once it is on the server and still make it so it only copies over the file changes?
If not, anyone have any suggestions on how to save space with rsync backups?
I was trying to generate ssh key for my server and get this message below
Code:
[andyj@server ~]$ ssh-keygen -t dsa
Generating public/private dsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/andyj/.ssh/id_dsa): [Enter]
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Enter]
Enter same passphrase again: [Enter]
open /home/andyj/.ssh/id_dsa failed: Permission denied.
Saving the key failed: /home/andyj/.ssh/id_dsa.
andyj: this is my username for my domain which is hosted in that server.
How do i allow 'andyj' user to have permission to do this? Note, I can do this with 'root' just fine. I'm using CentOS 5.
Is there a way to use a Web browser to open a file at [url], make changes to the file and save it back on the Web site? I am trying to do this but have only been able to save the file locally. The file only opens in [Read Only] (Compatibility Mode).

I'm experimenting at home right now. I got one of those KILL-A-WATT meters. (Egghead $18 - they are GREAT) And I'm measuring power usage with different configurations.
One thing I noticed is that the bios "cool and quiet" setting make a big difference. At idle current drops from 0.90 amps to 0.67. Of course if the processor is running 100% this probably goes away but if you have a cabinet of server and not all of them are maxed out all the time this should add up.
I'm using OpenVZ virtualization which allows my to use hardware more efficiently.
Just wondering if any of you have other tricks that cut electrical usage. Might have to put quad core processors in all my servers for expansion. Wish AMD would get their act together and get high speed quads out there.
Everything I have has 8 gigs of ram now.
Any hard drive setting I should know about?
I have 5 servers that I login to everyday and its annoying typing pass and username and server IP on putty every time I want to login.
Is there client software that I can use to save Login so i can login using one click?

I have Cpanel VPS account, and have been regularly backing up all my outgoing emails (via SMTP, imap or webmail) with the following:
Added to following lines in /etc/antivirus.exim
Code:
if first_delivery
and ("$h_from:" contains "username@domain.com")
then
unseen deliver "backup@anotherdomain.com"
endif
So, this worked well for the longest time. At some point it 'disappeared' and stopped working which I guess was due to some update, and putting it back it got it working again.
Recently, I had a new vps, moved my domain there and dropped the same bit in, but this time around, it didn't work.
Is it possible that antivirus.exim isn't being parsed? How do I check? Or is there somewhere else I can stick it into so it'll always work and not get replaced by some cpanel update?
I want to change SOA Settings from defaults to these: When I press OK button shows that is saved but when I test with [URL] .... and [URL] .... shows that settings still is defaults.How to change these settings??
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to migrate a server to a new host.
When I try to restore a full backup on my new host, NONE of the home directory files are making the move. Everything else is fine though.
I'm not getting any errors, so I don't have a clue as to why this isn't working.
We have a Windows 2003 Enterprise server with 6GB of RAM and about 20 terminal services users logging in. These users then launch a program called Accuthin Thin Client giving them access to a piece of software called Southware that runs on a Centos 5 Linux server on the same network.
Problem seems to be that saving files to the network share causes windows to blue screen and crash. Has anyone ever heard of this before? I know it is a shot in the dark but we have been investigating this issue for 4 months, have replaced the Windows server 5 times, increased RAM to 8 GB and installed Enterprise edition clean but the issue follow no matter what we do.
im running out of space on one of my sites but i have more then plenty of data transfer.
Unfortunately my hosting packaged it weird where they provide not enough hd space. Im trying to figure out is there a way where i can use another server or hosting company that can provide space only and use their servers just for space?
i think amazon.com offered this but wasnt sure how exactly this works.
Apache 2.2.25 on windows 32
I have a ProxyPass that looks like
ProxyPass /Share Documents http://partner2/Shared Documents/
But Apache will not start with spaces. I tried
ProxyPass /Shared%20Documents http://partner2/Shared%20Documents/
Apache would start but the passthrough doesn't work. What do I need to do? I have several url's with spaces.
which case is more preferred: a shared web hosting service with unlimited space/bandwidth, or a dedicated one with limited space/bandwidth?

My account is ready on new vps and all I need is pull the data back from backup server to new vps account.
I used this command previously

To RSync your data to your backup server, type:
"rsync -av --progress -e ssh @"
this will put all the files in your home

i dont know how to use this command on the Dedicated Server .
Is there anything better then rsync to replicate files (twice a day) on servers located in seperate datacenters?
Looking for more of a free to cheap solution though will also be interested in the higher end solutions later on.
I search over the forum as many members recommend rsync over the backup option builit in cPanel/WHM. May I know why cPanel/WHM's is not recommended?

I am using BQbackup to auto backup my CPanel VPS and was wondering whether it is best to use CPanel's own backup service which automatically backs-up the vps daily or should I use the rsync script that bqbackup provides?
Which is easier to restore and more reliable?
Looking for an RSYNC tutorial, something that focuses on backing http data, exporting the databases then transferring offsite to a receiving rsync server once a week.
Something that's understandable and logical would be great, happy to work through over the next week and continue more in depth with it.
I have been trying to setup rsync on my server and following these instructions
http://www.bqbackup.com/setup.html
The problem is I keep getting errors.
On this step,
ssh-keygen -t rsa -N
I edited it and did ssh-keygen -t rsa --N becauseI got an error saying it need the '--' before the N.
So after getting through that part, I got these questions asked
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
I left the passphrase empty, and then when it asked where to save to, I just typed in 'rsa'. Then it gave me some fingerprint.
Then I get to the step,
# scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub yourusername@yourusername.bqbackup.com:keys/server1
# ssh yourusername@yourusername.bqbackup.com mergekeys
But I get errors saying
-bash: cat~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub: No such file or directory
I dont get what I'm doing wrong. If somebody doesnt mind, can you please re-write the steps on getting this working, or maybe tell me where I am going wrong if the tutorial is correct?
Current, 2.6.3 came with my centos 4.4 cpanel server, I tried updating it to latest 2.6.9. However, when I type "rsync" it's pointing to 2.6.3 How can I remove the old version or reinstall over it?
View 8 Replies View Relatedone day later, if I run the following command again, the command is same as the one run by the first time.
rsync -avz username@IP:/home/asite/public_html/ /home/asite/public_html/
does it mean rsync will just check and copy the newer folders and files from the last copy?
I have a bit of a strange problem, I have an rsync command setup in the servers crontab and from the cron log it show it ran the command but the files don't copy to the backup server. If I take the rsync syntax and run it manually all the files copy across with no errors, but I can't figure out why the cronjob doesn't work properly.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to configure rsync to backup my vps data to an rsync backup provider.
The problem that I am having is that each time I try to run rsync it prompts for the passphrase.
I did some reading and it seems (and maybe this is not correct), that in order to do unattended rsync (e.g. using cron), that you need to use a key that doesn't have a passphrase generated.
If this is the case, is it true that it's not a good idea to use a key that doesn't have a passphrase?
I got one of those cheap $10 servers from hostmds to use to backup my vps.
Know I just need to know how do I setup rsync to backup my vps nightly? Any links to good guides to do this would be great. I looked on google, but am hoping someobody knows a guide that is simple to follow.
I am in the process of setting up a cronjob so I can run rsync automatically every day.
But I want to know is it ok to exclude the following folders?
/home/.cpcpan/
/home/cpeasyapache/
/home/src/ <!--- This folder I made to put files in before I install
/home/MySQL-install/
/home/.cpan/
As from what I understand cPanel/WHM makes these folders, and there no user data in these folders
