Do yourself a favor and segment your system on separate drives: system
stuff on one or more, and your add-ons on one or more drives. Not only
does this make it a piece of cake to upgrade but it also minimizes the
danger of a catastrophic drive failure taking it all out.

As for backup snapshots, go to freshmeat.net and do a search for
rsnapshot, one of the better rsync-based snapshot apps.

restore/backup/snapshot

2003-10-23 Thread bruce
hi...

trying to find out what's the best/good app for doing a complete
backup/restore of a system. basically, i want to be able to take a
"snapshot" of a system and then store it. i need the "snapshot" to be able
to allow me to restore the server back to state it was in when the
"snapshot" was taken

i'm not that concerned with the data that might be on a given hard dive, as
i am with being able to know that the restored environment is a duplicate of
what i had previously.

it would actually be helpful to be able to make sure the base OS and the
supporting apps are properly captured as one part of the application, with
the other data/apps on the system being "captured" in a separate part of the
process. This kind of segmentation would actually allow us to restore a
machine to it's base config without needing to be concerned with the rest of
the apps that a user may have added to the machine. It would also provide a
method of restoring the other apps if we needed to

we're willing to consider commercial apps, but we would prefer open source.
any suggestions would be appreciated

thanks

It may not be good enough for what you're trying to do but you 
could look at the LOG target of iptables.   This will generate
log entries for packets passing through a machine with a time stamp.
You'll need some way to pull that information out of the logs
and summarize it.

You might also want to look at the  netwatch  package which may
do everything you need without all the manual labor:

   Thanks for this thoughtful reply, Sean. I went into the netwatch page but got the 
impression
that it was a little outdated.. the project seems to have stalled..?; so I searched for
it and found related softwares rrdtool and iptraf; iptraf is exactly what I was 
looking for.

   Is there a tool which can give me a snapshot of downloading speed on
machines who are being forwarded packages by my machine? Maybe some way
to use netstat -c .. (I'm trying to use netstat -M and am getting "no
support for ip_maquerading on this machine". I don't even know what the

Archived snapshot of 6.1?

2002-05-24 Thread Paul Thomas


Hi,

Pardon my barging in, I have searched the RH site and a couple 
other places to no avail.

I need to restore some files and things on my out-of-the-box
6.1 install but my CD does not work. The CD looks to be in fine
shape and worked for the install and has been stored carefully
since.

I know I need to do some upgrading here, but in short, I really
need to restore a couple things first.

Does anyone know if there is a distro snapshot archived 
someplace?

Thanks in advance,

GIMP opens the shot in a window, ready for manipulation or saving into any 
of several formats. Since I mostly need to save the shot as PNG or JPEG, 
using GIMP saves me some conversion steps. I also get instant feedback as 
to whether I got the shot right. If not, I close the window and try again.

Although you can do it in Gimp, I think a cool way to do it is with
xwd.  For example,

$ xwd >test.dump

Now click on the window you want to save.  You can capture the whole
screen with

$ xwd -root >test.dump

or

$ xwd -root -screen >test.dump

You can view the dump with

$ xwud -in test.dump

or convert it to a usable format with ImageMagik

$ convert test.dump test.png

See the manpages for more options.  One nifty thing about doing it
that way is that you could set an at job to dump the screen at some
point in the near future (e.g., 'at now+1 min').  That way, you can
pull down some menus, etc for the screen shot.  (It's worth noting
that the Gimp will let you delay as well.)

Regards,
Ben

P.S.

You can get the id of a window (as mentioned in the xwd manpage) with
the xwininfo command.

 There's a program called "import" which will create a PNG or JPEG of
the root window (desktop) or a window.  It has options to either grab
just a window or include everything including overlaps.

2001-03-01 Thread Kevin Wood

Hey there guys and gals,

Got a question for you.  I was just checking out my boss's ISP account and
found something interesting.  I was wondering if there was a package that
would do this.

When in his shell account, he had a hidden directory called snapshot.  If
you did all types of file listings (ls, ls -la, ls -alR, etc.) you
couldn't see the directory. (I'd love to know how to do this).  But the
cool part was that if you went into this directory, it contained a
snapshot of his files so that if he deleted a file, he could go into this
directory and restore it.

Here's the thing.  NetApp has this incoporated into their file servers,
but they are expensive for our needs.

My question is do they have a package that will do this under linux or
provide similar capabilities?  This would be an awesome idea for
SysAdmins.  Look at the possible applications.

If anybody has any information on a package, I would be greatly
interested.

I appreciate the help.

Thanks

ANNOUNCE: KDE Snapshot Binaries available 2000-06-19

2000-06-20 Thread Christopher Molnar

VERY IMPORTANT: THESE BINARIES ARE CREATED FROM THE CVS AND MAY NOT BE
IDENTICAL TO THE BETA THAT WAS RELEASED. THESE ARE NOT OFFICIAL KDE
BINARIES. THIS CODE IS BUILT FROM THE CVS - MOST OF THE TIME IT WORKS.


MORE IMPORTANT: (And don't say I didn't tell you!) MAKE A COPY OF YOUR
.kde and /opt/kde2 directories so if something doesn't work you have
options (like going back).

This will be the last build in June. Please note there are new package
names in the RPMS and some of the packages have been split into multiple
RPMS. Please even if you are ftp'ing check the web page at
http://us.mandrakesoft.com/~molnarc/index.html for directions.

ALSO, THE PACKAGES HAVE MOVED TO A NEW SERVER THANKS TO MANDRAKE. PLEASE
CHECK THE LINKS BELOW.

 A new version of the KDE ALPHA binaries are available
 at us.mandrakesoft.com.  Please read the README file in the
 same directory. Just in case you missed it "READ THE README" prior to
 doing anything! If you need help installing please go to www.kde.org and

 Qt version 2.1.1 has been released. These binaries where built with the
 release package. You can get the released version used to build this code at 
 any Mandrake mirror, or you can get it elsewhere.

 When you upgrade plese consider copying your old /opt/kde2 to an
 /opt/kde2.old directory and then installing. This way you have something
 to go back to.

 These files are available via ftp from:

 ftp://us.mandrakesoft.com/pub/kde

 or via http at:

 http://us.mandrakesoft.com/~molnarc (follow links for kde2 Alpha
 binaries)

 You will also be able to find these at (after a few days):

 http://www.htw-dresden.de/~s2697
 
 The RPMS can be found in the next few days at any Mandrake Cooker 
 mirror site. Make sure you get the 2619 version.

 The installs have been tested by me on a Mandrake 7.1
 machine. They have also been reported to work on all
 other distributions.

 The rpm's are built with Mandrake 7.1. If you are not running the
 most recent version of rpm, I would suggest
 an upgrade. You may need to do a --force and a --nodeps on the rpm
 installs.

 If you are running prior Alphas or Betas I highly recommend you
 update. There are a lot of fixes and some structural
 changes in the packages.

 You will also find Source tar.gz's in the same
 directory.

Re: How to take a snapshot ofyour desktop

2000-01-26 Thread Brandon Dorman

What I do, is open up GIMP.  The second menu other than, "File," is
something.  Click on that and, "take screenshot."  Do, "Whole screen," and
how long you want it to wait.  And off you go.  Right click on the image
that pops up after the, "beep," and save it as a jpg or whatever and you
have taken a screenshot.  Assuming you have GIMP.  Cant just open it up
and tell you the exact stuff because I am doing this in windows due to a
winmodem. :-(  But if you can't figure it out I'm sure someone can tell
you exactly or I can boot into linux real quick to tell ya.  Screenshots
are fun and informative when telling people about how GREAT linux's GUI's
are.  Mine are at  http://www.neighborhood-church.com/Youth/images/linux/
Don't mind the text, I was just writing to have something there.

How to take a snapshot ofyour desktop

Hi,

I want to know how to take a screen shot of my desktop.  I have seen
pictures on the internet, and I want to be able to do that myself.

Thanks,
