Hi list,
Around the release of Sarge there was a howto on the internt on how to
implement Disk mirroring in Sarge with screenshots. I am not able to
locate it now :-( Could some one please help me with the link???
Thankyou so much
kind regards

One thing I forgot in system details: This is with the 2.6 kernel.
Haven't tried install with 2.4.

Hi all,
Could someone please tell me the best method/practice to implement
"Disk Mirroring" RAID with two 40 GB hard disks on Debian Woody.
I would like to know which package or software I should install to
support RAID.
Please also kindly note that I donot have any RAID hardware but

It's easier to use. If you know how to use cp, then you'd know how to
use cpbk.

Has cpbk any advantages over mirrordir or rsync?

hi oki
yes..yes...
your bnackup mechanism and backup implementation will
protect you against only certain failures... a single backup
methodology will NOT protect you against various failure modes
and yes... if you create a bad file or corrupt a file...
and you use raid1 to mirror your data...

It would be great if the copying is done incrementally (copy the newer
files only).

Hi,
I'd like to mirror the harddisk of my running system to another disk.
What is the best route to do it? What I have in mind is to mount the
second disk under /mnt and then copy all the files into it. Can rsync do
it? Of course, I'd like to do it periodically; every night at 11:59, for
example.
The high quality replies I received (especially from
Jens B. Jorgensen) solved my problem.
(see http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-0001/msg02027.html)
It also gave me an idea:
Wouldn't it be great if there was ONE Linux boot-floppy
that would mount (SMB or NFS?) a complete files
hi onno
i'd try something like...
- use a bootable cdrom ( rescue disk )...
- boot linux with network capability
( use linuxcare' bootable cdrom - business card size
- if not use (slackware) root/boot floppy image
- or use flash IDE disk to boot each w/s
