Which Folders Should I Exclude From A Whole Server Backup (Rsync )
I am going to backup the whole server. (Rsync)
I understood it is not efficient to backup the local "backup" folder to avoid duplicated backups.
1. Should I exclude additional folders from the backup process?
2. I noticed it is familiar to exclude the "proc" folder also ... Why?

Offsite Backups (via Rsync) - What Files/folders To Backup
I'm currently using (amongst other backup systems) rsync to an offsite space (am using BQBackup at the moment) I'm just wondering - apart from backing up all of /home/, /var/lib/mysql/ and the important config files (httpd.conf, php.conf, etc etc) is there anything else that *needs* to be backed up? Obviously in a worst case scenario, a new machine would be deployed with a fresh OS install (and a fresh WHM/cPanel install) so I wouldn't worry about backing up OS files or cPanel core files, although I'm wondering if there's anything apart from the /home/ directory and the MySQL databases which would be lost (and so need backing up) in the event of a crash?

Using Rsync To Backup An Entire Server
The backup program (cpbackup) that comes with WHM/Cpanel is not ideal for our current situation. We have lots of third party applications installed on our server along with many customized configuration files. We need a solution that will backup everything and allow for fairly simple restoration. How viable is rsync for full server backups? Can it handle 100 GB of data? More importantly, how would you restore the backup to a new server? If the new server already has an OS the restored files would break the system, right?

How To Backup To Your PC Using Rsync
I use bqbackup.com in addition to ServInt's backup. The ServInt backup is inaccessible to me and can be restored only by their NoC. Is there a way for me to download the backup files from bqbackup.com to my PC? I am using Win XP Pro. I backup the entire VPS, but I want to be downloading only the changes made each day after the initial download to my PC.

Rsync / Backup
I am setting up a mirror server to kick on in the event my main server fails and I need some help with syncing the two. It is my understanding I can use rsync to mirror the two. But, will that cover everything (ie. database, mail, etc) or only files?

So I Do An RSync Backup - How Do I Restore It?
Backing up a server is obviously very important. Lets say I do a daily rSync backup and eventually my server HDD crashes, I know it isn't just a 'one click' job to restore my backup but what is it necessary to do in order to carry out a complete and effective restore back to how it was? A step-by-step 'tutorial' on restoring an rSync backup would be helpful not just to me but to many 'would-be' server administrators.

Databases Backup ? (Rsync)
I am using bqinternet.com to backup (Rsync) some accounts. I sent them a ticket before 2 days and didn't get any reply. I used this command to schedule a remote backup for specific accounts: Code: echo "30 6 * * * root rsync -avz -e ssh ~account1 ~account2 ~account3 myuser@myuser.bqbackup.comerver" >> /etc/crontab But, I found this command will backup only files. How can I backup also databases?

Rsync Backup Related
Currently I am using rsync to backup directory and mysqldump sql file on both external and internal backup drive Now the directory has around 100,000 files that hardly change. Only thing that happens in that directory is either the old files are deleted or new files are added. All of them image Due to some reason when i rsync using any of the two commands below, it transfer each and every file again rather then transferring the new or updated files. Here is what i am currently using rsync -avH /old/path /destination/path (this is for internal backup drive) or rsync -avz -e ssh /old/path username@username.remoteaddress:/destination/path why all my files in the directory all uploaded again

Rsync Backup - User Permissions
I have a problem with my rsync backup First of all my setup is thus: I have a Linux box at the office which has an rsync cron on it which pulls from my web server as a backup. It pulls websites, mysql, conf files etc. My web server is running debian etch LAMP etc. When I originally set it up I used root user to log into the web server, and setup keys to authenticate, this worked perfectly. I then decided that having direct root access to the web server was a bad thing so I have turned off root login (PermitRootLogin no in sshd_config) I then setup a backup user which works fine for the website files but fails on permissions for the mysql data files (/var/lib/mysql) How can I get over this without granting root access to the backup user which would defeat the object of not allowing root access. I have been told about host authentication based on ip address but I have dynamic address at the office so that would be no good

Rsync Backup To NAS Via FTP
I just signed up with Rsync Palace for remote backups 2 days ago. Otto and Darin at Rsync Palace gladly helped me out and actually ended up setting me up for free. It's really an inexpensive price to pay for a little additional piece of mind to have a remote backup. I have a VPS with cPanel that has NAS on a private network. The way they set it up was for Cpanel cron job to create backups of my VPS and place the backups in a /backup folder off root; Daily, Weekly and Monthly. Then they have Rsync via cron set up to take those backups to the remote Rsync Palace server daily. I still want to maintain backups on my NAS in the datacenter. (cPanel will only backup remotely or locally, but not both.) In addition to Rsync securely transferring my data to Rsync Palace for offsite backups... How can I set up Rsync to ftp the same /backup data across the private network to the NAS? (Only ftp is available via the NAS.)

Daily Backup + Rsync Ssh + Large Number Of Files
i just wana know is it safe to do remote daily backup for about 70,000 files? file sizes is about 200kb and every day i have about 1000 new file, so rsync first should check old files becouse i am deleting about 30-50 of them daily and them backup new 1000 files , so how much it will take every time to compare that 70,000 files? i have 2 option now: 1-using second hdd and raid 1 2-using rsync and backuping to my second server , so i can save about $70 each month.

.htaccess To Exclude Specific Geographic Areas
I have a client who uses formmail on our dedicated server(another 140 clients also share this PLESK/LINUX server). While the formmail script has not been hacked, some schmuk spends the time to fill it out with spam 5-6 times a day and sends them to the client. I verified the emails go only to the site owner and nobody else. QUESTION: Is there a way to exclude the entire world and only allow visitors from the metro Chicago area? This would need to be done via .htaccess and not IPTABLES, as the other sites on the server draw world wide traffic. I'm scratching my head on this, but if possible it would exclude our schmuk friend while allowing the local traffic this client draws from.

Rsync Some Files From Windows To A Linux Server
At work, we have a windows 2003 server. We have a set of files that get modified from day to day. Since they know I own a dedicated server (Linux) they ask me if it would be possible to have an offsite backup on my server of the set of files on the windows 2003 server. Also, I dont want to have the whole files set to be uploaded everyday. I am aware of rsync on *nix system, but do you have any suggestions on how to proceed with a windows 2003 server to a unix server?

Run Rsync To Sync A Folder From An FTP Server
I want to run Rsync to sync a folder from an FTP server - which I have limited access too with my server. 1. Do I have to have rsync installed on the server with the FTP too, as I won't be able to do that as it is not my server. 2. Is Rsync easy enough to get up and running and set it to run every 24hours?

IIS 5.1 - Browsing Folders
Well I finally got around to getting my IIS up and running which will save some time with uploading various files to check that they are working correctly but now I have run into a new problem. What used to happen with my IIS is it would list out all of the folders which I had in the wwwroot and I would simply navigate through and select which site needed to be tested. At the moment, I have cleared out the wwwroot folder entirely since all of the stuff in there was to do with a "Windows XP Professional" page which appeared upon installation. However, now that I don't need it anymore, I decided to clear it out and test IIS out by making a new folder called "sites" into wwwroot. Now though, it simply comes up with a "Directory Listing Denied. This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed." error message, even though I have changed the permissions on the wwwroot folder to allow writing etc. Could this be because it's IIS 5.1 and I need to install IIS 6.0 instead or is something else wrong? I know for a fact that my operating system (Windows Media Center Edition 2005) will do this list as I have had it before, back before I installed Vista and then decided to come back to MCE.

Accessing Shared Folders
I have server which all files and folders are stored on. Now there are a couple of folders which are only accessible by one machine at present and all the other machines when they access the folder it is displayed as empty. I have checked all permisions and all machines viewing of files settings are the same and folders accessible by all machines have the same settings as the couple which are only accessible from this one machine. If I copy and paste the folder all machines then have access to the folder from although this would be a lengthy exercise for the full hard drive.

Folders Display Permissions
I would to know how I can change the display permissions for my website sub folders and files from public view, for instants The current is you can access to any folders or files once trying access to any folders in my website like open this link www.yoursite.com/photos/ will see all sub-folders and files in this photos folder also you can see the other folders in another level by going to the top level folders! but I think there is a way to enforce my users to write the full path of any selected photo or file they want without browsing my folders and sub-folder.

Mystery Folders Being Created
I am designing a site for a client and in all the years I've done design etc, I've come up against a phenomenon with their VPS server they have. It's linux and uploading files I am using WS_FTP Home. I am uploading files and folders to their public_html/domain.com/ (*I use domain here for their privacy) and in some folders (directories) after doing so, a mystery folder suddenly appears that is named 5" and as you enter that folder, you see the path directory show up "public_html" and if you go into that one, you come up to the domain.com folder again, and if you deeper into that one you start to see this phenomenon of mirroring folders of the one you go into. Example: public_html/domain.com/images/5"/public_html/domain.com/images/file ***the file whether it's an image jpg, png, etc is created as the last directory as a folder, not a file. I should also mention that as you go deeper in the 5" mystery directory folder, you no longer see the path in the FTP anything past the 5" one even as you go further in. Oh, and it doesn't allow you to delete these 5" folders regardless of what permissions. And this folder seems to show up in many areas of this website's directory structure...mostly where images are (don't know if that is just a coincidence). So hope all this makes sense....anyone seen this before and what the cause could be? Their host doesn't seem to know the reason and says they cannot see it even though others can. They said it's the FTP program as the cause and not their server. My comeback to that is that I've used this FTP for years and never before seen this happen. It's only with this one client's server.

SSL Certificates Works For Folders?
Say i have domain zzzzz.com and have some folders say a, b and c would ssl if installed for main domain zzzzz.com work for https://zzzzz.com/a and so on ? or would wildcard ssl be required for that ? And what if that /a folder is actually a subdomain, but since you can access subdomains via url/folder instead of folder.url would ssl work on it using url/folder option instead of subdomain url ?

Deny Perl In Public Folders
How do you guys deny run of perl/bash scripts from /tmp, /var/tmp, /dev/shm? I've tried to build simple shell wrapper, but that's not a compromise if you run for example spamassassin on the same server (it needs direct io to/from perl binary). I'm looking intro some kind of binary wrapper or patch that will deny running perl scripts from public folders (also the same for shell scripts will be great). Any ideas or solutions? If anyone interested in primitive shell wrapper code: Code: #!/bin/sh ARGS=`echo $@ | grep -v "/tmp/"` if [ "$ARGS" != "" ]; then /usr/bin/perl.orig $ARGS; fi

Zipping Up Multiple Public_html Folders From Shell
OK so I'm on the shell and looking at the contents of my home/ directory which has all the various accounts. In each account directory are subdirs such as mail, logs, tmp, etc, and public_html. Is there a way (or a ZIP command) to be in the home directory and create a massive ZIP file containing all the account directories, each containing ONLY the respective public_html subdir for that account? Using the command "zip -r Backups.zip ./" seems to include all those extra folders (such as mail, etc.) that aren't needed.

Access Folders In Root / Bypass Wordpress
My blog is set up to display in the root of my domain, although the files on the server sit within their own folder: i.e Server files Public_html/wordpressfiles/ Broswer displays www . mydomain . com/ (disaplys pages from /wordpressfiles) The problem I have is that I can't access individual directories within the root, unrelated to wordpress. e.g I have Public_html/folder2/... Setup on the server, but if I enter the path in my browser: www . mydomain . com/folder2 wordpress thinks I want to access: www . mydomain . com/wordpress/folder2 ...which doesn't exist. How can I re-gain access to folders in the root, without wordpress interfering?

Removing Large Files Or Folders CentOS
Something weird happening here. I have tried every string possible... There are a number of folders I want to remove off my server, tried the good old and simple... rm -r /folder/ And then went and ended up with a string as long as my screen. No matter what I do, as it goes recursive in to the directory it asks me if I want to remove each file individually. No matter what string or action I take it insists on asking me as it goes to delete each file. Could this be a configuration option in CentOS?

Apache 1.3 For One Site, Two Cgi-bin Folders
my server has just one site, apache conf has such a line: Code: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/cgi-bin/" and Code: <Directory "usr/local/apache/htdocs/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> then, my cgi script may run well under the said folder, /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cgi-bin but I have another script need to be setup another cgi-bin under its own folder below htdocs folder, like, /usr/local/apache/htdocs/anotherscript/cgi-bin however, when I run the said script in browser: Code: http://www.mydomain.com/anotherscript/cgi-bin/abc.cgi the browser just shows source codes, instead of running it. I am guessing something wrong in httpd.conf, may I know how to set apache httpd.conf to meet my requirement?

Copy Newly Created Folders In /tmp
We've had someone starting nobody PERL procs on a box and we can't quite track it down or read the file to see what it is. What he does is to create a folder in /tmp, execute the script from there and delete the folder as soon as it's running (yes, /tmp is mounted noexec, makes no difference). We've managed to discover and block the IP that was doing this, but that's no fix. He hasn't been back since banning the IP...so far. What we would like to do is see if anyone knows of (or can help create) a script that can watch the /tmp folder and copy newly created directories and thier contents to another dir (also notifying via email would be helpful) in order to see what the heck it's doing, and hopefully be able to figure out how it's getting in. Nothing in any logs this time, and the PERL process seems to be able to hide itself from PS. That bit worries me quite a lot, but none of the binaries appear to have been changed, and it doesn't appear we've been rooted in any way. Thoughts on this, ideas and suggestions welcome. Failing that, is it possible without breaking the box to prevent the creation of new directories in /tmp? This I seriously doubt, but if all they need to do is create a folder and work from there, noexec is a joke.
