Re: rdiff-backup remotely
Just to let you know that after retried many backup solutions to solve the quiz of the making of local backups with a remote machine has file source, I turned again to Duplicity to produce that delta file that later on I can download to keep updated my local server backup. -- Daniele Bonini
Re: rdiff-backup remotely
Just wondering if it could be ever possible / practicable having multiple flavors of rdiff-backup on OpenBSD to fix this byzantinisms? Indeed I know nothing about OpenBSD dealing with the constraint of the python versioning to let different ports survive - including rdiff-backup - so don't mind my question too much to let you *upset*.. ;) -- Daniele Bonini "Daniele B." wrote: > > > rdiff-backup reply me with with Pyhton error: > "Local version 2.0.5 does not match remote version 2.2.2" > > Two doubts pop up: > 1) Have I to always couple rdiff-backup versions between OpenBSD and > Linuz ever also after system upgrades? > 2) I see on 7.4 you are on rdiff-backup vers 2.2.5, this permit me > > Indeed I'm very happy with rdiff-backup locally since years, a little > surprised of this endeavor going remotely.. > > -- Daniele Bonini > >
Re: rdiff-backup remotely
Thanks Crystal, I'm trying to use "rdiff-backup" saying to it please take my data on the remote location via ssh and backup it on my local destination. Preamble from the man: rdiff-backup requires that the remote system accept ssh connections, and that rdiff-backup is installed in the user's PATH on the remote system. For information on other options, see the section on REMOTE OPERATION Preamble from the web doc: https://rdiff-backup.net/examples.html I get that what I need to do is possible by this command: rdiff-backup r...@microsoft.com::/home/bill/trojan/ /home/bill-backup Established this the problem I got is a mismatch between software versions, locally on 7.3 I own ver 2.0.5 and on the cloud (linuz) I own a 2.2.2 (I'm talking of rdiff-backup). The funny stuff is if I decided to install prev version of Linuz on my cloud server I could get a match of versions... (2.2.2) rdiff-backup reply me with with Pyhton error: "Local version 2.0.5 does not match remote version 2.2.2" Two doubts pop up: 1) Have I to always couple rdiff-backup versions between OpenBSD and Linuz ever also after system upgrades? 2) I see on 7.4 you are on rdiff-backup vers 2.2.5, this permit me to remote my backup with ver 2.2.2 on the cloud? Eh-Eh-Eh.. (there is to laugh and lolly here..) And, to reply you, rdiff-backup let me do incremental backups of data with a certain gain in "network traffic" output along the way.. Almost this should be what promised.. Indeed I'm very happy with rdiff-backup locally since years, a little surprised of this endeavor going remotely.. -- Daniele Bonini Crystal Kolipe wrote: > It's not really clear what you are talking about. > > I think what you are saying is that you usually use rdiff for backup, > but you want to perform an additional backup to local media because > you are moving from one hosting provider to another and there is a > possiblilty that something might go wrong. > > In that case, since you'll be doing a full, (non-incremental), backup > anyway, just do it the simple way - use /bin/pax, and download the > archive your local machine over sftp afterwards. > > On Thu, Oct 05, 2023 at 05:42:35AM +0200, Daniele B. wrote: > > > > I found the fact that I'm running different versions between > > localhost and remote host (2.2.2) gives some deep scratches to > > rdiff-backup that stops to run almost immediately. > > > > Do you suggest to wait for 7.4 and retry? other thoughts? > > > > > > "Daniele B." wrote: > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > I moving on the cloud between providers and I have been suggested > > > maybe correctly to backup my little cloud stuff also manually. > > > > > > I'm stick on rdiff-backup and I would like to try it also > > > remotely via ssh.

Re: rdiff-backup remotely
It's not really clear what you are talking about. I think what you are saying is that you usually use rdiff for backup, but you want to perform an additional backup to local media because you are moving from one hosting provider to another and there is a possiblilty that something might go wrong. In that case, since you'll be doing a full, (non-incremental), backup anyway, just do it the simple way - use /bin/pax, and download the archive your local machine over sftp afterwards.

Re: rdiff-backup remotely
I found the fact that I'm running different versions between localhost and remote host (2.2.2) gives some deep scratches to rdiff-backup that stops to run almost immediately. Do you suggest to wait for 7.4 and retry? other thoughts?

rdiff-backup remotely
Hello, I moving on the cloud between providers and I have been suggested maybe correctly to backup my little cloud stuff also manually. I'm stick on rdiff-backup and I would like to try it also remotely via ssh. I have not clue how to do it yet so I'm here to ask if anyone has already experienced the thing, if it is secure ( I see from the man that there are some concerns ) and eventually practicable via. Thanks! -- Daniele Bonini
