Tux Icons – An Enlarged Desktop Experience
I just downloaded a great icon theme. Tux is rocked out 61 times over.
You can download the icon theme here:

Right click on the icons to stretch them. Notice backup and backup2. I will explain next time how these external usb drivers are keeping a daily backup of the entire system.

Lets say you have 100 Megabytes left on /dev/hda1 but your have 10 gigs left on /dev/hda2. Lets say you have a folder on /dev/hda1 /home/user/backup that is over 2 gigs. Lets [...]

You should have backups of all your files all the time. For a desktop machine always have a backup of your entire /home partition. Use a cronjob and rsync. Mount a usb drive to the /media directory. Use a cronjob as follows: 1 1 0 0 0 rsync -r /home/user /media/backup/user The above rsync will [...]

Oh, given my previously elabored backup configuations I have one further thing I would like to do. Since backup 1, and 2 are only used once per day I would like to spin down the hard drivers to increase longevity. I figured dismounting the drive would be effective, but I have encountered several things. First, [...]

Both the master and slave servers reside on a host machine. Clearly the servers are virtual machines. Its strategic to use virtual machines because the host machine remains useful for a variety of other tasks. The virtual server compartmentalize the functions to a discretely backupable file. In my particular arrangement the master server is synchronized [...]

You’d be surprised what you can accomplish when you aren’t even close to your computer. Using Rsync you can completely backup your /home directory. I back it all up, except one directory, which I handle differently. rsync –exclude=”~/.VirtualBox” /home /media/backup I mount a usb hard drive to /media/backup. Make sure you set proper permissions: sudo [...]
