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?
What is the best way to get backup from linux server to windows same as rsync
i need to take offside backup from my linux server to windows server,before i used rsync to take backup,now i need to make backup in windows server with help of any software which work same as rsync or any software which must have good feature.
I have move all my vBulletin images to a separate server .. to decrease the load in the main server.. but i am still having a problem .. I have a 3 directors updated daily with new images they are
I am searching for a way to move only the new files uploaded to this there directory's to the other server in this way /home/mark/public_html/vb/customavatars (new files) ===> /home/mark/public_html/images/customavatars
/home/mark/public_html/vb/customprofilepics (new files) ===> /home/mark/public_html/images/customprofilepics
I have tried to use Rsync in this way as i have a internal connection between my server but it's not work rsync -a rsync://192.168.0.2/vb/customprofilepics/ /home/mark/public_html/images/customprofilepics rsync -a rsync://192.168.0.2/vb/customavatars/ /home/mark/public_html/images/customavatars rsync -a rsync://192.168.0.2/vb/signaturepics/ /home/mark/public_html/images/signaturepics
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.
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?
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.
I rent windows dedicated server for just about a month, but I never had problem.
When I copy files on my home computer and then paste them onto server's drive, files begin copying, but after some time they stop copying and I hear double beep sound.
when populating and attempting to write keys to authorized_keys I'm receiving the following error:
Quote:
Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'
Long version:
I've been grinding my wheels with this for a long time now. Basically I'm attempting to get rsync set up to backup some data directories on my Windows 2k3 Server through a batch file with task scheduler to bqbackup. I've been back and forth with both Scott and Rsync.net's tech support about this issue - both of which have been great... but essentially keep hitting the same impasse with Scott appearing to have hung his hat stating he's not familiar enough with windows and rysnc.net telling me to wait for their GUI client that should be launching "soon." In the meantime I'm just running the backup manually until I can get this key issue figured out.
Here's what's going on: I've been mainly using BQ's Guide and Rsync's Guide to try and accomplish this.
After executing ssh-keygen -t rsa -N ''
I receive the following message:
Quote:
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa):
If I accept the default value it gives me I receive this error:
Quote:
Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'.
Open /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa failed: Not a directory.
Saving the key failed: /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa.
Now my thoughts were this was occurring because my %homepath% is actually:
Quote:
c:documents and settingsadministrator.DOMAIN
(DOMAIN replacing actual text)
I'm able to change the default path location and create the RSA file elsewhere using the cygdrive format... so when prompted for the path to save I instead input:
Quote:
/cydrive/c/docume~1/administrator.DOMAIN/
and am able to create the RSA file... so mission accomplished... so far, I believe I'm past this, the snafu is now occurring on writing these keys to the authorized_keys file on BQBackup...
Quote:
C:Program FilescwRsyncin>rsync -av "/cydrive/c/documents and settings/administrator.DOMAIN/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" <login>@<host>:.ssh/authorized_keys Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'. The authenticity of host '<host> (<ip>)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 18:02:d9:95:06:a9:70:74:86:b7:76:41:f6:71:a0:a4.
(<login>@<host> replacing actual login & host... it's definitely connecting)
That pesky '/home/Administrator/.ssh' pops up again. I'm not sure if that's what's causing the issue or not. I'm not even sure why the %homepath% for my administrator account on the server is set to administrator.DOMAIN, but AFAIK I can't log in to a local account on a Win2k3S box, correct?
Now, you'll notice that the command I issued to upload the keys I got from the RSync.net instructions. BQ's instructions for step 3 are pretty foreign to me.
I've gone further than this and attempted other things such as SSH'ing into my BQ server using putty and attempting to write the keys that way with no luck. I can't fully remember the errors I encountered doing so, though.
I have noticed in a few Windows server tha the server gets hacked and there are tons of files which are mostly DVD rips and games being transferred away which results in huge amount of data transferred and bandwidth consumption increasing to as far as 29 Mbps. On further investigation, I find that all the files get stored in either the Recycler directory or the System Volume Information directories in any of the drives. Now these two directories are protected operating system files. Even if there is a windows firewall installed, there is no difference. I have even noticed that in some servers there is an automatic exception rule added in the windows firewall enabling the torrent client to communicate outside the server. This seems to be a common problem with Windows 2003 server and seems to be some backdoor of Windows allowing hackers to use the server for seeding. Has anybody come across such a problem or know the solution? Kindly help me with this.
I'm using Plesk 12.0.18 version with Windows 2012. I need to backup files to remote ftp server. Remote server configuration is Windows 2012 with IIS server. It works with ftp clients very well.
But, i have a problem about Personel FTP Repository. I open Personal FTP Repository Settings and write all boxes with true information about remote ftp server but it says "Transport error: unable to list directory: Curl error: Login denied".
Ftp server works fine with ftp clients and cpanel backups.
I have just used rsync to backup a dedicated server to a new cloud server. I put the files in a plesk webspace 'Backup' folder for ease of use (gui). In File Manager for that webspace it shows the folder user and group as root, which is obviously correct as rsync maintains users etc?
Thats fine, I just wanted to be able to back them up along with the rest of the server configuration and content.
However, when I run backup it says "For security reasons, backing up is performed on behalf of subscription's system user. This system user has no read access to:" and "So it was not backed up. All other data was backed up successfully. To fix this issue you may grant access read/write to the file or directory for system user "(username)" or "apache"."
I don't know how to give read/write access to the system user? Through file manager there is no option to change permissions.
I want to migrate a Plesk 9 tot a Plesk 11.5 server. The new server runs CentOs 6.5, but everyone talks about a checkbox with Rsync option and I also see this at pictures at the internet. But in my Plesk panel this option is missing.
I tried to add ac new subscription and this failed.No I have an inconsistent subscription and get the following error: New configuration files for the Apache web server were not created due to the errors in configuration templates:
Template processing failed: file = /opt/psa/admin/ conf/ templates/ default/domainVhost.php, error = Template_Exception: No data. file: /opt/psa/admin/plib/Template/Processor.php line: 28 code: 0 Previous error: Template_Variable_Exception: No data. file: /opt/psa/admin/plib/Template/Variable/AbstractCachedData.php line: 67 code: 0.

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?
We want to backup the contents of our public_html dir to another server we sue for backups. What is the proper rsnyc command to use. I am currently in the source server and want to send it to a specific user account on the destination server.
