Re: rdiff-backup is it best openSource continous backup solution?
Tyler, I really appreciate the gentleness of responding to the both questions. I realized that a complete snapshot of the system (my requirement #6), which can be restored in one go (all OS/Apps/data etc.) is best done using software like clonezilla (I am looking at clonezilla right now). the other part of my requirment seem to be met by backuppc. I found the software after i sent the original email to this list. (So I opened my account on backuppc and will ask future quest on the product there). I liked rdiff-backup when i saw it first time, but when i saw last release was in 2009. I wanted to be sure, if there is devolpment being done on it (say for another LTS release if any FS changes comes along etc.). So I asked if active devlopment is happenign on it or not. with kind regards. Rajeev From: Tyler J.

I saw your post to the BackupPC user list. I prefer BackupPC, but it's not ideal for bare-metal restore. It's ideal for whoops, undelete, and as poor-man's version control. It can be used for bare-metal restore as well, but I recommend installing a base OS from the install media, then restoring over that using BackupPC_tarCreate at the CLI. If you want to continue this discussion, please take it to the BackupPC user list. Otherwise, rdiff-backup is great, supported, and works fine. Rsync + diff, what's not to love? I personally use rsync to a LUKS-encrypted removable drive once a month or so, plus BackupPC to get the dailies. I use BackupPC at home and at my company, where we have ~70 Linux servers and workstations, and 5 Windows PCs, all safely backed up for the past 3 months, to just 4 TB.

Re: how to move my website from ubuntu 10.10 to 12.04 LTS?
ok. so I tried. I moved over all www data, personal data and matched the config (was long and tricky) so I want to test it now, so I shut down original server at midnight and start the new one with the IP set to static (same as old server). The box comes up fine, I can ping the gateway, but I can not ping anything after it! from old server: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:48:c0:18 inet addr:xxx.xx.xxx.17 Bcast:xxx.xx.xxx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:161679 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:41778 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:56107739 (56.1 MB) TX bytes:4452263 (4.4 MB) Interrupt:19 Base address:0x2024 my settings on new box (which do not work, when i bring down old box and start new one.) /etc/network$ cat interfaces.static # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.
