Talk:Nerd:RSYNC Backup

From ASD Wiki

chris, it would be really more helpful to explain what is on each volume in addition to listing. like home directories for all high school students,teachers, instead of or in addition to files: --Skipt 22:15, 23 February 2006 (CST)


Done. Although you might want to fill in the gaps of items I might have missed in the apps volumes

yikes..... missing adminserver? & mail1 , mail2 need to add asdcafe,asdlin2 and all content in mysql.....and a way to backup dns info sometimes??

...and workstations?? --Skipt 11:36, 25 February 2006 (CST)



I didn't think you wanted mail1 stuff. oops I remember. forget I said that! --Skipt 15:30, 27 February 2006 (CST)

We had discussed that if we saved it, we'd be responsible for producing it. Doesn't matter to me, it wasn't in my original list of servers to back up on the Netware RSYNC box. Maybe set up a cron job to dump all mysql tables into a NSS folder so they will be grabbed as well? How would we go about grabbing a complete copy of eDirectory? I'll look into RSYNC for windows, because we'll need to get that for asdcafe. Workstations? Like the workstation object listing? Wouldn't that be grabbed with a backup of eDirectory? I would think we'd just want that to rebuild itself anyway.

novell has always suggested replication for edirectory instead of "backup" so, no worries there ... windows... my thoughts are use native windows tools to backup to a netware drive (a users f:\).. or just image them on some pattern.

cool tool article

win2003 servers

do not forget cafeteria/pac win2k3 servers (perhaps we should take zen images of them routinely as well?)

rsync config stuff and trustee info

sys:\etc\rsync.conf .... sys:\rsync .....

usage... notes
Skip's proposed-----Usage:

  *LOAD TRUSTEE SAVE ALL sys:trustee.txt 
  * then copy sys:trustee.txt to rsync\\\\

- LOAD TRUSTEE [options] SAVE (ALL | <path>) <outputFile>

 Saves all file system properties into a CSV file starting from the given path

(or, using the ALL parameter, all the directories and files on the volume).

 Use options to include selected properties only, or to process files
 or directories separately (see the Option explanation below).
 Example:
 LOAD TRUSTEE SAVE ALL VOL1:\Home\Admin\Trustee.txt
   Saves all properties from all local volumes to the specified file
 LOAD TRUSTEE /EDI SAVE VOL1:\Programs VOL1:\Home\Admin\Trustee.txt
   Saves all directory quotas and IRMs starting at the given path

- LOAD TRUSTEE [options] RESTORE <inputFile>

 Restores file system properties from the CSV file created by the previous function.
 Use options to restore selected properties only, or to process files
 or directories separately (see the Option explanation below).
 Example:
 LOAD TRUSTEE RESTORE VOL1:\Home\Admin\Trustee.txt
   Restores every settings found in the input file
 LOAD TRUSTEE /D /ETI RESTORE VOL1:\Home\Admin\Trustee.txt
   Restores only directory trustees and IRMs from that file
 LOAD TRUSTEE REMOVE (ALL | <path>)

Removes all trustee rights starting from the given path (or, using the ALL parameter, all the directories and files on the volume). Will ask for confirmation when specifying the ALL parameter or a path on the SYS volume.

 Example:
 LOAD TRUSTEE REMOVE ALL

Removes all trustees from all volumes on this server

 LOAD TRUSTEE REMOVE VOL1:\Programs

Removes all trustees starting at the given path

LOAD TRUSTEE REMOVENULL (ALL | <path>)

Removes all trustee rights starting from the given path (or, using the ALL parameter, all the directories and files on the volume), where empty rights are assigned. Will ask for confirmation when specifying the ALL parameter or a path on the SYS volume.
