Since the upgrade of the Mondorescue server, the ftp service has been working incorrectly

2019-11-19 Update of the MondoRescue server

In order to prepare the delivery of MOndoRescue 3.3.0 later this week (more on that later !), I’ll update the MondoRescue server to the latest Mageia 7 that I have tested successfully on other machines.

So the server will be unavailable starting Wednesday the 20th of november at 9:30AM CET till 11:30AM CET (that shouldn’t take longer, but I need to check the various services, svn, http, ftp, trac, mail, sympa, . )

2019-08-23 Help test Mondorescue 3.3.0 future version

So yes, the project is (as myelf) not dead !!

I’ve been able to work again on that long overdue 3.3.x version and be successful in a backup/restore using RHEL 7.4! So I think it’s time to publish more packages available at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.or/test so you can try and report your findings on the MondoRescue Mailing-List.

Hopefully it shouldn’t be too long now till the final version !

2017-04-26 MondoRescue services back online

The project team is happy to announce the availability of an updated Mageia 6 server hosting the various services for the project:

Web acces is now available back as you can read always at http://www.mondorescue.org thanks to Apache.

FTP acces is now available back as well at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org thanks to vsftpd.

And a new trac instance is now available back at http://trac.mondorescue.org, with a better anti-spam version which hopfully will help maintaining the site clean.

So now that this is mostly done, expect a 3.3.1 version as the next step.

Резервное копирование Linux сервера.

Театр начинается с вешалки, а сервер — с резервных копий! Если у вас нет резервных копий (backup), считайте, что вы ездите на автомобиле без запасного колеса.
Я написал ряд статей по созданию бекапа сайта (базы данных и всех файлов). Теперь настало время рассказать как сделать копию всего сервера, со всеми программами, приложениями, файлами конфигурации и данными пользователей.
Один из вариантов — это воспользоваться утилитой Mondo Rescue, которая специально создана для резервного копирования и клонирования серверов. Она бесплатная, с открытым исходным кодом, позволяет легко создать полную копию всего Linux сервера в формате ISO на CD, DVD, USB, HDD или NFS. А также позволяет быстро восстановить данную копию на свой сервер. При необходимости можно выбрать восстановление лишь отдельных файлов. Основной плюс данной системы — это простота использования, создать полный бекап сервера можно не прерывая его работу.

Установка MondoRescue на CentOS

Сначала необходимо установить репозиторий:

Далее запускаем установку утилиты:

Создание резервной копии сервера

От имени root запускаем команду:

Далее в диалоговых окнах необходимо указать куда делать копию, параметры сжатия, какие папки исключить из копии и так далее, все пункты довольно просты, если возникает сложность, то можно принимать значения по умолчанию.
Выбираем носитель куда будем записывать резервную копию.

Если выбрали жесткий диск, то укажите место для сохранения ISO образов.

Выберите тип архива

Настройте степень сжатия

Укажите размер образа

Отредактируйте название файлов ISO образов

Настройте, что хотите резервировать

.. а что не попадет в архив

Укажите папку временных фалов

Подтвердите начало создания резервной копии сервера

Процесс архивации может занять продолжительное время

По его окончании вы получите следующее сообщение

Теперь осталось скопировать полученный(ые) ISO образ(ы) в надежное место.

Восстановление сервера из резервной копии

Для восстановления системы требует загрузиться с созданного ISO образа и выбрать режим «nuke» для автоматического восстановления.
