Re: [gentoo-user] Back up again

I want to do an rsync of the server directories I want but locally, it should end up in a tared file (it doesn't need to be compressed). I need it on a tared file because I want to preserve permissions, so, restoring the backup won't be a pain. I want rsync because I need to make it incremental, if not, I'll kill my server's bandwidth, at last I need to reach root privileges by sudoing. Is this possible ? if not, is there any workarround that you know that might help me (like taring the dirs on the server and syncing that) ? Thank you. Take a look at rdiff-backup, http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup? It's in portage as well... /Andreas -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I'm missing a couple of things, maybe flexbackup can do it, but I do not know how, can you help me ? 1- I need to backup some big files (databases) that change slightly over the days, so, I need to be able to do incremental/differential [1] back up inside each file, is that posible ? I tried setting up rsync, but it seems it downloads the files directly into my HD and not inside a tar; and it didn't work anyway. 2- I don't want each backup iteration in a separate file, I'm interested on incremental backups to save bandwidth, not to save old files, is it possible to end up having one archive for each backup ?

We use flexbackup to back several servers but we are using automysqlbackup to make backups of MySQL databases. http://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/ -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I tried setting up rsync, but it seems it As far as I know, flexbackup can't do that. In order to do that you should use some tool that is based on something like diff, but it is not the way flexbackup works. I don't know any tools that do that. Probably, if you know a little shell programming, you could try to make an automated dump of your database, make a diff with the dump of the day before and save the outcome (i.e. only the differences). Then you could use flexbackup to save the difference. 2- I don't want each backup iteration in a separate file, I'm interested on incremental backups to save bandwidth, not to save old files, is it possible to end up having one archive for each backup ? Flexbackup's incremental backup only stores files that have changed since the last backup, so the old files are not stored again and again, unless you change them. I'm not sure I got your question, though. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
