[gentoo-user] new machine: incremental back-ups
My new machine is working very well -- thanks again for the advice -- , tho' the sighing noise from the CPU fan is a bit trying (smile), & I'm considering setting up an incremental back-up system so that if the SSD collapses, I can restore everything from files stored on the HDD without re-installing. I already have an adequate set-up of back-ups, incl off-site copies, which ensures my personal files + configs cb restored, but it involves some human intervention from me at various times & I would have to re-install all the system + Portage stuff. What do people who do incremental back-ups use ? -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT`-O--O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca

Once configured it runs automatically. Just as of today I started some tests with storeBackup (which is not in portage: http://www.nongnu.org/storebackup/). It has a nice feature list: compression, de-dup (even on block devices), backup replication, checksums and the author claims, you can restore backups even without having storeBackup at hand. What do you use for cloud/offsite backups? I am still searching for the perfect solution. Requirements: backups must be encrypted, delta-sync, and being able to resume interrupted transfers to the offsite location. At the moment I am using duply, which is a frontend for duplictiy. But with duplicity, a flipped bit in the backup chain can render all following backups useless. So now I am thinking about encfs. Just encrypt the backup (or use encfs --reverse) and rsync to offsite location.

These servers are the primary mirror sites for Mozilla, Kernel.org, Gentoo, Drupal, and other major open source projects." This is from the dirvish website in 2005 when I started using it - if its good enough for those guys ... I am still using it on multiple systems without problems. Space efficient versioned backups. The website is a bit out of date, but there is still dev going on behind the scenes as shown by googling - solid and reliable so doesnt need to change much. Recommended. BillK

I have a Python script that uses a combination of dar, to create encrypted backups locally, and boto to upload them to S3.

The man page states that it is possible to restore individual files from an dar archive without reading the complete file (in contrast to tar). Is this also true when using compression and/or encryption? Would be a great feature for fast single file restores (Just mount the offsite location with sshfs or similar and tell dar to restore file25 from my 500GB backup without having to transfer the whole damn thing :) )

It helps when an upload fails and when restoring you just grab the catalog, try to restore from that and it tells you which file(s) it needs. -- Neil Bothwick People who eat natural foods die from natural causes. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] Kernel compile problem
Finishing a brand new install on a brand new machine, compiling kernel 3.4.9 is OK. Boot from it also. Just a detail: the USB keyboard is not recognized, no input possible (works fine under BIOS or when booting from the install disk and chrooting). I must have forgotten something, some driver. Any cue ? Also I cant'remember the name of that utility that makes the mouse recognized on the console...

I'm using rdiff-backup to do incremental backups of my local machine to an external HDD, as well as using it to make backups of a remote server over SSH onto my local machine.

Any cue ? Most USB keyboards and mice require *LOWSPEED* USB 1.x support. This is *IN ADDITION TO* USB 2 and/or USB 3 for harddrives/keys/etc. If you have an Intel or VIA chipset, you need UHCI (USB 1.0) support built into your kernel, like so...

I must have forgotten something, some driver. Any cue ? I ran into this too : I have an AMD processor in the new machine, but an Intel in the old one, & the drivers for AMD are different. You need to install all 4 of the 'xHCI' drivers (not as modules).

[gentoo-user] AMD ''Vishera'' FX-Series CPU
Dearest FX-8350, Will I get lucky and be happy (price justified by performance enhancements) if we consummate our first transaction? Or should I want for your cousin the Steamroller? Any got Gentoo running on a new AMD Vishera (FX-8350) CPU based system (Oct, 23 2012 launch) ? Anyone seen one of these systems yet? Anyone got one on order?

Will a mobo for Vishera also work with the new Steamroller chips? Does the new pile-driver micro-architecture present any compiler issues with gcc or other compilers? nefariously curious, James
