Re: [SLUG] clone system to a vm?
- Original Message - From: li...@sbt.net.au To: slug@slug.org.au Sent: Tuesday, 25 September, 2012 6:55:23 AM Subject: [SLUG] clone system to a vm? I have a Centos 4 machine, I'd like to try cloning it from a physical machine to a VM on another system, I've installed Centos 6 on the new machine, and, learning how to setup VM how would I clone existing system across LAN to VM ? I just used the vmware converter to clone a windows 2000 physical machine onto a virtual box VM flawlessly. We needed to rescue the software running on the machine due to age, so a VM was the way forward. Just had to tweak the ACPI setting in the CPU advanced config and win2k booted straight away. Vmware converter is a free program that does support some linuxes. Not sure if you can run it from linux though. getting an image of a hard drive is one thing, getting it to boot as a vm straight away, is entirely different. dave -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Basically the handyman receives work orders from a Strata Management or Real Estate company to contact John Smith of so and such address and telephone number to arrange for some repairs to be carried out. Bear in mind that there are usually multiple jobs being done simultaneously. * First task is to contact the person in question and arrange an appointment. This often takes several calls. * Sometimes the repairs are specified in the work order but often they are not and a first appointment is usually necessary just to establish the extent of the work. * Sometimes there is a quotation required which goes back to the managing company - other times it's just do and charge. * A second appointment is often necessary to perform the work although of the planet align the job may be done and completed during the first appointment. * Often the job involves time and materials, sometimes it's just labour. * Finally the job has to be invoiced back to the management company. Currently invoicing is done in MYOB and I'm happy to leave that as it is. Whatever we can come up with would ideally have an android client or at least sync with Google calendar for appointments and / or follow ups.

Re: [SLUG] Backups
- Original Message - From: james j...@tigger.ws So the file created on day 2 backed up on day 3 is lost. Can anybody point to the boat (I've missed) or confirm my vision. Seems correct, and the primary reason why we moved to rdiff-backup and disk based backup. We get to keep effective full versions for as long as we have disk space, very efficiently. We have some customers have 500 days worth at least of their core database dumps. They needed to restore something back to 400 or so days once, and where able to do it in a matter of minutes, from request to delivery of the file. It works for us, and we have at least 10Tb of backup jobs under management spread over hundreds of backup jobs. I also agree with another poster - the typical restore event is the most recent backup, and a subset of the job at that. http://rdiff-backup.nongnu.org/ and https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/show/backupninja to manage it.

Hey All, relevant to this discussion may be an internal project I have been working on for sometime: Honcho. Honcho is a storage subsystem for virtualisation environments built on RAID1 over iSCSI. It is designed to run from stock Ubuntu linux, with no single points of failure. We have shell scripts that tie it all together, and are building the next version in ruby with a web interface etc. The first revision of the architecture for Honcho can be viewed here: http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/8641/honchostoragelogic.png I was thinking of giving a talk to SLUG about it sometime, complete with scripts that let you provision storage and machines in one go, migrate them between front end servers, and resize them if you need. We use OpenVZ on top of Honcho, but you could use KVM just as easily. OpenVZ at least gives you the live migration option. Happy to answer any questions if you are interested, and interestingly enough, rusty, the VE that houses slug.org.au will be on honcho shortly.

That works pretty well for us (having had to do lots of restores using it). http://riseuplabs.org/backupninja/ Backupninja allows you to coordinate system backup by dropping a few simple configuration files into /etc/backup.d/. Most programs you might use for making backups don't have their own configuration file format. Backupninja provides a centralized way to configure and schedule many different backup utilities.

Re: [SLUG] hard links over the net
Julio Cesar Ody wrote: Hi all, I have a backup server in my LAN that keeps some rsnapshot (www.rsnapshot.org) backups. For those of you who don't know the tool, rsnapshot works by taking incremental backups, hard linking the files that don't change from one backup to the next (thus, keeping the consecutive backups smaller than the first big one.) I want to send these backups to a remote server every day or so. I tried scp'ing it, but scp resolves the hard links, causing me headaches and too much space to be used in my remote server. I then tried SSHFS (sshfs.sourceforge.net), and the same thing happened. Same applies to SHFS. I know NFS would keep the hard links instead of resolving them (cp -d), but I'm not up to put NFS over the internet since that can be a bad idea from the security standpoint. So my question is: is there a way for me to make that transfer and keep the hard links? you could use rdiff-backup (rdiff-backup.org) which works the same sort of way, but gives you a few extra features. and of course works over ssh by default dave -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I prefer samba even for linux to linux shares, with a nice smb browser like smb4k clients don't have to touch the command line. I have always been wary of the lack of security and authentication in NFS. Samba seems so much richer a platform for file sharing, and if you have a mixed network, everything talks to it fairly well.
