Can you search with dmesg and find if it's nead a firmware.
Yes.
At the bottom of the dmesg message, I can see these lines:
request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-2030-6.ucode' failed.

Isn't that a gaping security hole? I think this amounts to granting
the backup server root read access (and write access if you want to
restore) on each client?
How can you backup system files without root read access? You are
granting this to s specific user, one without a login
You did not tell us what are you trying to backup; entire system or just
particular files.
Right now I'm working on particular files and folders but it sounds
nice to eventually back up each system in its entirety. That does
sounds like a lot of data to move offsite though.

Yes, but with push you have to secure each machine whereas with pull

Just tried that, but no joy. uClinux knows that the share isn't mounted

I'm planning to rsync --fake-super the important files from each
client to a particular folder on the backup server as an unprivileged
user and then have the backup server run rdiff-backup locally to
maintain a history of those files.
How does that work with files that aren't world-readable?

Hello,
I'm particularly paranoid about my CUDA setup. I do not understand
CUDA except enough to declare that if my machine has CUDA 4.2
installed my life will be easy. This is because I compile software
that supposedly needs CUDA 4.2.
Can someone please translate the emerge -Dauv snip below
I've just recently run into a problem where sometimes when a machine
boots, the kernel can't find init. This appears to be because my grub

That' how we do it. The backuppc server is in our local lan, and only
accessible from local lan. It pulls backups from all our machines in
offsite data centers. To compromise our backuppc machine one would have
to physically break into our companies building.
But if somebody has physical

If you want to leave your backup server open to exploitation attempts,
maybe you should be looking at a different solution :)
