Comment on Backup via rsync by Ozzik

Hi Chris,

first of all, please disregard all the (\) backslashes, it’s wordpress’ fault, I just need to find the right plugin to deal with it.

now, about your questions. I do run this on the backup box.
And the shares are not mounted.
It’s just the way I wrote.
DIR is not a share, but an actual path to the share on prod1,
LDIR is an actual path to the share on the backup machine.
When you do server:/path/to/the/share/ - it knows exactly where to go.

Hope it helped.

Ozzik.

Hey Ossik,

I noticed your script:

nano /root/scripts/test_rsync.sh
#!/bin/bash
MASTER=\”prod1\”
DIR=\”/mnt/vol/disk/share/\”
LDIR=\”/mnt/volbkp/diskbkp/share/\”
SSH=\”/usr/bin/ssh\”
rsync -av –delete –rsh=$SSH $MASTER:$DIR $LDIR

Where do you run this, on the backup box?
If so, how do you have the shares mounted..nfs? the DIR refer to the remote share on prod1?

I had similar experience with HP Proliant DL380 G3, thou not sure about SCSI controller, the thing obliviously missing DVD drive and doesn’t boot from usb devices ether.
It’s antiqued Xeon CPU didn’t support 64 bit so, I can forget about 2008 R2.
Also SmartStart CD which “should” support entire Proliant servers line, even in “32 bit” version refused to load, since itself is coded as 64bit app :((((((

In my last attempt to install it, was clean install from preexisting Win 2003 server OS.

It went somehow - ok (Very slow), but then failed to boot to OS, past the first animation.

In the end - I gave up and installed OpenFiler using some of suggestions I found on your blog - Thanks btw!

Comment on My home setup by Ozzik

Electricity… shouldn’t be too much. The only devices that are “on” all the time are the main PC, firewall and switches. NAS is on whenever I’m at home. All the others I only turn on when needed. So I don’t think it’s much more than an average use.

WiFi is really only needed for laptops and HTPC. And my first HTPC setup in this apartment was about 6-7 years ago. Back then WiFi was still not good enough/expensive for such use. And since I already had cabled that spot - there’s no reason I’d use WiFi for HTPC in this apartment.
