[Ubuntu-US-CA] Looking for a Good Solution (data syncing)
Hi all. I am looking for a good solution for my brother. But first, the story... The latest round of viruses on his wifes computer has prepped him to try something different. He spent all night recently trying to clean her system and get it to boot. He knows Ubuntu enough as a user as I installed it as a dual boot on an older laptop of his. He jumps into Ubuntu from time to time. After showing him how to run ClamAV yesterday on his wifes drive and cleaning up all the viruses, he is convinced and ready to make the switch to Ubuntu. Here is his situation. He has three computers. He would like one box as a server and use the other two laptops. Sounds easy and I can do that no prob, but here is the tricky part. He has a bunch of data... He used to be a DJ so he has tons of music and as a photographer he also has about 60,000 worth of 35mm slides he has scanned in and is now on a hard drive. He wants to have this data backed up and synced at all times. Ubuntu One and Dropbox are not an option because of the large amount of data which he estimates to be about 900GB give or take. He would like this synced across three drives. One at work, one at home and one at my dads house. Thats his goal and Im not that technical so I though I would see if anyone on the list would have some good ideas for syncing such large amounts of data. Many thanks!

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Looking for a Good Solution (data syncing)
Thank you to both for the great info. This looks exactly like what I am looking for! Dave On 06/08/2012 09:26 AM, Alex Mandel wrote: The classic solution to this is rsync, which I find to be somewhat tricky but can get by using grsync (a GUI version) to set up. rsync is magic in that it only transfers differences. It does however take a while each time it's run to find what's changed and I haven't found a good way to skip that and say just push new stuff since I know the old stuff hasn't changed. This could be set up as a cron job to just happen in the background. The other method I sometimes use for this challenge is version control. I setup the master repository on my server and then use standard version control methods to keep my 2 desktop/laptop machines up to date whenever I get on them. There's a little extra work here since a user has to manually say add to the version control system then push the files, and remember to pull/update on the other machine. Some of the common version control system do have integration with Nautilus or Dolphin (The file managers) so you don't have to learn command line.

This is the command that i used for backups: rsync -e ssh -varuzLP ~/Documents ~/torrents ~/src metta@192.168.1.8:/home/metta/backup/ /*use rsync to backup files */ and the command to generate security keys: /* create key pair so no password needed with ssh, turn off password auth in /etc/ssh/sshd_config*/ ssh-keygen -t dsa /* on source system, just hit enter @ prompts */ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pubmetta@192.168.1.8 /* dest machine */ -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Add Team Meetings to Calendar?
Hello all! Ive recently started using Thunderbird to handle all of my email and like it a lot. I notice the calendar portion of Thunderbird allows one to install an iCal weblink into the calendar. Now, every time a new event is added, my calendar is also nicely updated. Just now Philip Ballew sent us an email informing of the San Diego Ubuntu Hours and sure enough the event calendar in Thunderbird was also updated. Bare with me, as this is all new to me since Ive only used web based mail up until this point. So my question is... should we add in the Sunday meetings as an event for Ubuntu California? Best, Dave PS... is there any interest for me to do another Ubuntu Store shipment where I group all orders together to save on shipping? Please check the Ubuntu shop and get back to me, thanks! http://shop.canonical.com/ -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
