Wanneer je synaptic kan gebruiken kan je afbackup gewoon installeren met een klik op de knop.
Heb je een server zonder desktop kan je volstaan met:
sudo apt-get install afbackup
Client-Server Backup System (Server side)
This is a client-server backup system offering several workstations a
centralized backup to a special backup server. Backing up only one
computer is easily possible, too. Any streaming device can be used
for writing the data to it, usually this will be a tape
device. Writing backups is normally done sequentially: The next
writing to tape goes to the end of the previous write no matter where
you have restored from in the meantime.
Features:
- Authentication of the client is performed before it can take over control
- Access restriction for the streamer device -> security
- Client-side per-file compression -> reliability
- Data stream is written to tape in pieces -> fast finding of files
- Tape position logging for each file
- Tape capacity is fully used
- Full / incremental backups
- Raw partitions can be backed up
- Client and Server buffering for maximal throughput is done
Note: Tk is required if you want to use the graphical configuration
tool instead of the text configuration tool.
Na de installatie zou je met de opdracht:
man afbackup
De gehele manual moeten kunnen doorlezen waar precies in beschreven staat hoe&wat je moet doen.
Je kan ook nog installeren:
afbackup-client = Client-Server Backup System (Client side)
afbackup-common = Client-Server Backup System (common files)
Gebruik je al Webmin, doe je er het beste aan om afbackup via Webmin te installeren omdat die dan een boel voor je regelt.
