This tutorial shows how you can use duplicity and ftplicity to create encrypted (so that nobody with access to the backup server can read sensitive data in your backups) backups on the provider's remote backup server over FTP. ftplicity is a duplicity wrapper script (provided by the German computer magazine c't) that allows us to use duplicity without interaction (i.e., you do not have to type in any passwords). falko Tue, 18 Dec 2007 12:49:53 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-mysql-backups-with-automysqlbackup-on-ubuntu-9.10 AutoMySQLBackup is a shell script that lets you take daily, weekly and monthly backups of your MySQL databases using mysqldump.

It is intended to create snapshot-backups of selected directories or even your full hard drive. From the FlyBack project page: "FlyBack is a snapshot-based backup tool based on rsync. It creates successive backup directories mirroring the files you wish to backup, but hard-links unchanged files to the previous backup. This prevents wasting disk space while providing you with full access to all your files without any sort of recovery program. If your machine crashes, just move your external drive to your new machine and copy the latest backup using whatever file browser you normally use." This article shows how to install and use FlyBack on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon). falko Thu, 31 Jan 2008 17:52:38 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/disk-backup-with-amanda-on-debian-lenny Amanda is an open source client/server solution to back up filesystems.

To do so, you need an image server (should have enough disk space to store your images) and a so-called golden client (i.e., the system of which you want to make an image). This means that you have to install some software on your image server and on your golden client in order to run SystemImager. This tutorial shows how to install a SystemImager server and a SystemImager client, both using Ubuntu 8.10, and how to create/update/restore/delete images. falko Thu, 13 Nov 2008 12:57:18 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-back-up-mysql-databases-with-mylvmbackup-on-ubuntu-12.10 mylvmbackup is a Perl script for quickly creating MySQL backups.

This article shows how to use it on an Ubuntu 12.10 server. falko Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:19:30 GMT
