How to make a backup from / ? (so the whole system).
I only have

total /

in the lista.txt file but it doesn't seem to work. Last night it only backupped the databases.

Another question. What if I want this script to backup to a local folder? Is this a possibility?

I guess just changing the

path=/backupfolderlocal

in Franz his script will do it to backup locally.

My idea was to colocate 2 servers in the datacenter, but for the beginning this is to expensive for me. So I will start with colocate 1 server in the datacenter, create the backups in a local folder and copy them to the computer at home.

Any other suggestions are welcome :-)

Backups are finished, just checked, all files have been written to the local folder. But at the end the script gives me this error:

Cannot parse address `2009-10-14 09:14:47 - Starting daily backup' (while expanding `2009-10-14 09:14:47 - Starting daily backup'): Format of RFC822 object is bad

What does it mean?

The script is works well, but you should fix these lines on your blog

# $SSH $MYSQLDUMP
log "Dump OK. Starting SCP"
# $SCP/mysql-$i-$datum_x.sql.bz2 $dirname/

you have them commented out.

Some syntax indentation would make it more readable.

Hey,
That was the ticket Tibor, thanks! Ensuring that both boxes use the same account/password for the SQL Server service did the trick. Backups are now running properly between the servers. Again, many, many thanks!

I want to get a service that allow me to control a remote server and do things like surfing the internet plus installing Windows program.

I think it called dedicated server but I want something cheap per month and surf web using it.

ssh key authentication
Filed under: Linux tips — admin @ 00:55
How to generate SSH keys and implement for key authentication.

login to local machine with user you will be using for connect to remote.

1. generate keys:
ssh-keygen -t dsa

2. copy id_dsa.pub to remote machine to /tmp directory
scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub remote_machine:/tmp

3. login to remote machine and append new key to authorized_keys2 file in home folder
cat /tmp/id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

4. log out and that it is.

You can try with:
ssh remoteuser@remoteserver
and you will be connected to remote server without password.

Hi Franz,
When I want to do step 3 on the remote server
cat /tmp/id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

I get this error:
“bash: /.ssh/authorized_keys2: No such file or directory”.

What should I do?

Rudolf.
