Backup solution
by Ali AlipourR 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Hi I'm new to Linux and unix-like systems, I need some advice on backup solution for file level and block level backups for file-level backups I found fsarchiver, dar, tar and for file-system-level fsarchiver, clonezilla/partclone and dd appropriate based on my requirements (data integrity and confidentiality, mount and single-file-restoration capabilities, btrfs and GPT support, ACL/Selinux preservation, xz compression) Advantage of tar and dd is that they are available every where but I'm mostly concerned about file integrity with tar and dd copies all unused blocks of file system too (fsarchiver or clonezilla/partclone will only copy file-system + MBR) I need some advice on Backup solutions, what is your personal methods and solutions? Any advice would be most welcome Thanks

Self Reintroduction and Candidacy Announcement
by Dan Mossor 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

Good day fellow Server enthusiasts! I am hereby announcing my second candidacy for the Server Working Group. For those that didn't receive (or don't recall) the first self-intro I did last April, here's a little background. I am a Systems Engineer which, translated, means I make heterogeneous - and sometimes "incompatible" - systems work together. I have been in IT since I was a child, and my service in the United States Navy gave me the training and experience I needed to make a pretty good career out of it. I've returned to University to finally get a degree - I don't currently have one and have reached the highest position I can without it. I have been maintaining servers of one form or fashion since 1993. My first systems were HPUX and Sun Solaris 2.0. I set up my first Red Hat server in 1998 to serve as the DNS, web, ftp and file server for the Commander, US Navy Central Command. While at that station, I was appointed the Information Systems Security Officer, and was eventually recognized as having the most secure network in Central Command in 2000. I have maintained RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Solaris, BSD and Windows servers in one flavor or another since 2003, and have been slowly transitioning my current systems to a virtualized infrastructure built on CentOS 7 and Openstack Juno. As part of that transition, I have moved our file server from Windows to a Fedora 21 server with Samba, pulling the data from a storage server via iSCSI. I've also deployed a F21 server to fill the role as a local repository (with most of the aforementioned operating systems hosted), and another server as our first central identification and authorization using FreeIPA. I have other instances in production serving double duty as the DNS server (integrated with the FreeIPA server) and eJabberd for a local network IM service. On a separate network, I am running a mixed CentOS, Fedora and Windows Active Directory environment for a development team. Within this closed network, I run DNS, Apache, Redmine (formerly trac), eJabberd (formerly Openfire), git (formerly svn), and multiple CentOS machines doing nothing but virtual hosting for test instances built on KVM/QEMU. The Windows portion of the network serves the sole duty of authentication and identification, but I am using the Windows Services for Uniz to provide some interoperability for that function.I am advocating moving away from Windows based development environments to Fedora, so I can eventually call my network a pure Linux network. In regards to the Fedora community as a whole, I am a member of the QA team, and dedicate most of my testing time to the Server and KDE products (yes, I know KDE isn't a product....yet). I talk up Fedora and it's abilities at any given opportunity, and have convinced more than a few folks to switch to Fedora from Ubuntu. I like what the Server product has become, and want to see it supplant Ubuntu as the "reference" server for multiple projects (namely Openstack, among many). I do what I can in my limited role to make this happen. In short, I am a maintainer of servers, and use them in my daily duties at my day job; I am an end-user of the product. My weakness in the Fedora community, however, is that I am not a developer. It's not what I do, I don't want to do it. I make the systems available for the developers to do their job. To that end, I am very good at what I do. I feel that I would bring insight and ideas to the WG as an end user of the product - a voice that needs to be heard by any development project. It wouldn't do very good to build a product that isn't wanted, or worse, even needed. Regards, Dan -- Dan Mossor Systems Engineer at Large Fedora KDE WG | Fedora QA Team | Fedora Server SIG Fedora Infrastructure Apprentice FAS: dmossor IRC: danofsatx San Antonio, Texas, USA
