| + | ====== BackupPC appliance ====== | ||
| + | Nobody wants backup. Everybody wants restore... | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/|BackupPC]] is a nice "to-disk" backup solution with a convenient web frontend. Restores are easy, even for those in my household who do not tame computers for a living. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I recently bought a Longshine LCS-8311 NAS device for the sole purpose to make it a BackupPC-appliance. The original firmware was some kind of linux, but lasted only some minutes until my serial console cable was ready. There is a project called [[http://www.opennas.info|OpenNAS]] using similar hardware, which has detailed information about flashing new firmware into this device. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Required tools: | ||
| + | * thttpd | ||
| + | * samba | ||
| + | * perl | ||
| + | * File::RsyncP | ||
| + | * compress::Zlib | ||
| + | * coreutils (su) | ||
| + | * iputils (ping) | ||
| + | |||
| + | File::RsyncP make test complains about some failing bitshifts, despite of having off_t already at a size of 8. Needs to be fixed... **FIXME** | ||
| + | |||
| + | RsyncClientCmd: | ||
| + | /bin/ssh -i /home/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa.db -l backuppc $host sudo $rsyncPath $argList+ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Backup is SLOW. But OTOH the load on the client is negligble. | ||
