RE: [Asterisk-Users] Backup for linux/asterisk
What about imaging? We use acronis true image 8.0. You can create an image of your asterisk box within 20 minutes (120 GB HD !) and deploy it to another server in the same time. Even if changing your hardware from VIA to SIS and back to INTEL wasn't a problem for us. Btw we use Fedora Core 2 for our * servers. Regards, Guido Hecken after getting my feet wet with [EMAIL PROTECTED], I want to set up a second asterisk box to add a call shop billing and other add-ons such as LCR. My question is as follows. Is there a backup program that will save to a tape drive or a USB CD Writer so if I mess up an install I don't have to go through a complete reinstall? I saw a few programs out there but they required X windows and from what I read it is suggested that X windows not be installed on an Asterisk box. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [Asterisk-Users] Backup for linux/asterisk
I gave up on tape as being a nightmare to maintain, I now back all my servers and workstaions using backuppc. One linux server with a 5 device RAID can easily backup 100 workstatons and several servers beacuase of the pooling system used. For a smaller situation I would use 2 disks in RAID1 (mirror).

I don't know about you, but our business insurance requires us to have 'an up to date backup stored off site'. They won't cover us for disaster (fire,theft etc) losses unless I do. Check your policy before you go for any 'non-removable' backup.

One nice system-backup program is mondo-rescue. It provides a complete system backup. It can build a bootable rescue CD (actually: ISO images of such a CD) which automates the recovery process even for multiple partitions. The target can be cd images, tape, remote nfs partition, local files, or whatever. http://www.mondorescue.org/ It should work very well for a system backup. The data backup should probably be done using tar or amanda or whatever. I saw a few programs out there but they required X windows and from what I read it is suggested that X windows not be installed on an Asterisk box. If it requires X it is probably not designed for recovery. Naturally all tools I've mentioned here are free. -- Tzafrir Cohen | New signature for new address and | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | new homepage | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] || best ICQ# 16849755 | Space reserved for other protocols | friend ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Can also be integrated into your very own custom script that does whatever you need. I forgot the details, but a friend stuck with windoze told me about these nice features his new and expensive backup s/w has. I was smiling to myself because I had already been doing those things with a shell script I wrote. True I don't have a fancy GUI but I could have it all run in ncurses if that was needed. Mondo restores your disk very nicely too. -- Steve Szmidt They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Backup for linux/asterisk
The standard UNIX backup program is called dump. Try reading the dump manpage by typing man dump at the shell's prompt. This program has been in common use since maybe the late 80's Quoted from the man page: Dump examines files on an ext2/3 filesystem and determines which files need to be backed up. These files are copied to the given disk, tape or other storage medium for safe keeping Many sysadmins will run dump nightly from a crontab entry --- Steve Prior [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jeff Glassman wrote: My question is as follows.

To restore it, just type: tar xvf /dev/st0 ttfn. Btw, dump will not work on Linux, unless you've got a proprietary dump command installed. The default system utilities for Linux do not include dump. If your Linux is a modern distro, it might however include xfsdump which probably does the same thing as dump, but it will only work on an xfs partition. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCQ5UEgYKvkeyp3F4RAugCAKClHmj/WCMYf27ASmsV3llMdqeQswCeIXdP 3J84PWP+n/AK+Udf5aubTn0= =BLvc -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
