Subject: Recommend backup method?
Date: 10 Jul 2000 19:10:51 GMT
Can someone recommend a backup method. Here are the parameters.
- Personal computer (effectively I am the only user)
- 1 Gig of potentially backup-able stuff on various partitions on 2 drives
- Iomega ZIP100 drive with 5 disks
As you can see, I don't need an extremely sophisticated method that
does multilevel backups every three seconds. I would like something that's
easy to run. This thing will probably have to be interactive, since
I have five disks and only one drive.
I'll buy more disks if I really really have to but I'm short on cash,
so a method which selectively compresses things down to .5 Gig from
1 Gig would be nice. For example, things in /usr/bin can be tarred and
then compressed - if the compressed archive gets corrupted, /usr/bin
is screwed, but that's not the end of the world. Things like /home
should ideally not be .tar.gzip, since I would like to have some redundancy
(ie flipping one bit should not nuke my home directory backup).
This last point is negotiable however.
By "method" I mean anything from a philosophy to a shell script to a
full-fledged application with pull-down menus and background music.
thanks!

Others have already posted some good suggestions.
With SuSE Linux, I discovered that /dev/fd0 was not pointing to
anything particularly useful. I had to replace it with a symbolic
link to something like (I'm not at my Linux computer) /dev/fd01440.

How good are linux's logging facilities? I have a website which has a

In my experience, if XF86Setup can't automatically set up the resolution
you are left with manually hacking your XF86Config, *including* the
video timings. I found this next-to-impossible given my monitor manufacturer,
MAG, refused to supply me with the sync information for my monitor. If you
really want to do this, read the XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO. Hopefully,
your monitor's manual (or manufacturer) will supply you with the information
you require.

Subject: Some questions about /dev
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 22:36:03 +0200
Hi,
My system crashed a while ago. It used to work fine.
(RH6.0, Lilo dual boot.)
I've tried several LILO options like:
linux single
linux root=....
linux /bin/sh
These options all produce the same error. I do not get a
kernel panic
error.
It says:
....
VMS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly
Freeing unused kernel memory: 60 k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
In the SUSE support database I read that tty1 could be erased. I think
this is the case.
When I startup with a rescue image I can mount the root (/dev/hdb1) and
create a console (mknod ...).
After rebooting the system still halts but I do not get the 'unable to
open an initial console' warning.
When I look on the mounted disk, /dev is empty, except for the console I
created. (In fact /dev didn't
even exist at first.)
My questions:
What could have happened to /dev? Did I lose data from harddisk?
Can I somehow copy /dev from rescue floppy to my hard disk? How?
If not, any suggestions?
I would be grateful if someone has some useful suggestions.
Thanks
Roelof

I have not ever seen Apache fail to log a hit in the access_log. I
would suspect that something or someone is hitting your offsite counter
without going through your web site. An indexing bot maybe?

For a standard user to mount it you only need the mount point, eg
mount /floppy
then
ls -al /floppy
If you put in the device as well it thinks you're trying to do something
else and takes no notice of the fstab entry (which most distros set up for
you).
It should work like you tried it if you're running as root though (which you
shouldn't really be, just to mount a floppy).

Odd, every SuSE I've tried since 6.0 has at least got the floppy devices set
up ok.

I would recommend the following.
1. Don't try to backup the system. If something goes wrong, just
reinstall it after you have resolved the problem. If you keep
your user files in a separate partition, you can do this without
affecting those files. It is a good idea to backup important
configuration files. These are mostly in /etc/, but a few
may be in var. You can certainly fit that on a zip disk.
2. Backup your user files. tar with the z option for compression
should simplify that. If you can't fit the tar file on a single
zip disk then divide up your user directories so that you can
do it on several zipdisks separately.

No need. Tar will use multiple disks if you specify the M
"multi-volume" option.
Or you can use dump/restore. It will also read/write
multi-volume backup sets. It works best on entire paritions. If
you just want to do individual sets of files, tar is probably
the better choice, but if you want to do entire filesystems,
dump/restore is a good choice.
Some distro's don't install dump/restore by default, but I
think they all include it as an option.

Assuming you installed the various packages you need (including the
devel-* packages), you just type:
% c++ helloworld.cc -o helloworld
Where helloworld.cc is your C++ program.
If your code is in mulitple .cc files, you might do this:
% c++ -c file1.cc -o file1.o
% c++ -c file2.cc -o file2.o
% c++ -c file3.cc -o file3.o
% c++ -c file4.cc -o file4.o
% c++ -c main.cc -o main.o
% c++ -o Myprogram main.o file1.o file2.o file3.o file4.o
These are really very simple examples.

Even better, get an external modem. Any RS232 serial, Hayes (AT command
set) compatible will work with linux. No need for special drivers or
other fun & games. The *original* *real* Plug And Play (as opposed to
Plug and Pray).
