Hello, I've got a remote server, Linux, that i have to redo. My hosting provider makes the redo easy, as they have images you can select, operating system version and dependingo on what you pick is what you get. My problem is it'll kill my current data. I've got to back up the / partition from this server to a local server here, then redo the remote machine, then reload the data. Has anyone done partition backups over the net? Thanks. Dave.
Hi, This machine that runs the list runs under a similar configuration. I just tar up the relevant directories and then send them across. There is also an NFS space they provide for such backups, which I could FTP off if I wanted to, but I just Rsync the whole thing to my server here. You could tar / if you wanted but probably easier to just backup what you wanted (you could backup /etc for example). Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Dave Sent: 24 July 2009 20:10 To: 'Blind sysadmins list' Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] backing up a partition via the internet Hello, I've got a remote server, Linux, that i have to redo.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. My problem is i have soft links and databases i need to ensure get across. Whenever i use tar that doesn't always happen. I was thinking of dump/restore. My problem is i would then have to mount the remote server partition here and do the dump or mount a local partition here to the remote server, i am not sure if this is even possible or if it is if it's secure, i would definitely want this encrypted. Thanks.

Hi, Simlinks will work with tar, databases will restore correctly under certain conditions. My backup script will actually mysqldump the databases because that is more reliable and also allows me to go back easily. Using dd or similar may be possible depending on the file system they use for the underlying system (if it is a virtual machine especially so), though I am not sure how you would even go about restoring that without overrighting some critical data from the new image.

Hello, I'm pulling my hair out with this at the moment. I've never configured Mailman from scratch before and I'm having a problem understanding where everything fits. I want to configure mailman so that each user account on the server can optionally have a customized mailman configuration. For example: I've a virtual domain set up in /etc/apache2/sites-available and obviously sites-enabled that takes traffic for "mydomain.com" How do I make mailman have a customized interface etc for this domain? Thinking about it, I can put a directory into the virtual domain file that will route all traffic to mailman but that's only part of the problem solved. Can anyone suggest any good documentation? I'm running a server with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Thanks Darragh

Hi, The Apache integration is very easy. The CGI looks at the domain name in the host header and presents the users with the lists at that domain. The more tricky bit is the MTA integration and that is specific to the MTA you are using. The docs in /usr/share/doc/mailman is what I used to get my Mailman setup working with, I have a multidomain setup on lists.hodgsonfamily.org which works well (with the only caveat being that the lists can't share the same names at each domain). I originally used Exim4 but moved to Postfix to provide some other functionality (when I moved from Debian to Ubuntu). Thanks.

Cool. Just as you wrote that I got the domain part working. OH joy! next part is the MTA stuff. thanks again.

There's a stupid thing I don't understand. creating a sub domain. Is there something that needs to be changed on the DNS pointer as well or should an alias or a new virtual host do it? I'd have thought it was both. Thanks
