[frenchn00b]

Hello,

How to backup data (one folder) of XP ==> LINUX machine, periodically?

c:\foldertobackup (25GB) source =====> LINUX (delete the changes here) mirror

if I delete in c:\foldertobackup it should also delete into hte linux folder.

Any ideas how to make it ?
whatever idea accepted that is fast and easy

Try rsync or grsync (rsync with a gui).

it is for windows?
because windows has not single shares,
it can access the samba of linux

[logos34]

maybe use automatic incremental backup in rsync or sbackup

and it is included already in microsoft XP?

[logos34]

no, you'd need to use rsync/grsync or sbackup from the linux side.

You want a windows app? (if so you'd need to install fs-driver so xp can access the ext3 linux partition).

but I can access linux, it is the /home/user thourght the samba, like a normal share
it is my O:\mydata into linux

Unison has a windows gui client (although its primitive). It also needs to run on the server. It uses rsync which seems to be the most established replication/mirroring solution. I wrote a tutorial on how to compile unison from svn or cvs -- its in the tutorials and tips section. The windows gui build is available from the website.

In linux, grsync.
In windows, icemirror.

Hi,
So it is working ice mirror, I did some further testing.

Download and install SyncToy, it's pretty straightforward to use

it needs the framework microsoft, and wine does not like it :( :(
but not that bad,

Does it do the echo sync via SSH to our linux servers?

==>
d:\tosave
d:\backup

if you delete files, into the d:\backup, after teh sync echo, a new echo sync, will not re-place them into the d:\backup

damn, i dont know what they think MS programers
:(

synctoy does NOT delete in bakcup the hidden files

and creates jkdflsjkslfdjkflsdjjfskldjklafd.1.exe like that, when the program is LOST :(
damn :(

why not just create a script that automatically mounts your xp partition, and then copies the folder. It would do it on bootup.

"MASTER XP ===> LINUX BOX, with delete"

but actually it should rename and delete, changes, on hte linux box. A brutal CP would take too much time :(
