Backups

  • copy the configuration files locally as described in the FAQ.
    The easiest method for this is to just download and use the "USB" version as your second instance, which already has the configuration files in the local directory.

    I would like to see a feature where I could, for instance, assign my general bucket to localhost:2667 and another bucket to localhost:2668 so I can access both at once. ...
    You can do that right now by running multiple instances of Jungle Disk. Just install a second copy into a different directory and configure it to run on a different port.

Jungle Disk :: View topic - rsync with auto-backups

  • * Create /etc/fuse.conf, if. like mine, it doesn't already exist.

    * Add "user_allow_other", without the quotes, on a line by itself in "/etc/fuse.conf".

    * With Jungle Disk Monitor closed, edit "jungledisk-settings.ini" and change the MapDrive line to read "MapDrive= -o allow_root", without the quotes.
    will be your actual Jungledisk mount point, such as "/mnt/S3".

I want an online backup - so paying $25 now sounds better than paying $100s when the inevitable hard drive failure occurs.

Photography Backups

  • Shutterfly holds your photos hostage. If you want to access a high resolution copy of your own photos, you can't just download them. Shutterfly only lets you download low resolution versions. "Oh, your computer crashed, you say? Well, you are welcome to order an archive CD with high resolution versions of all your images for $39.99.*

Sub Ubi » The Busy Writer: Backups (followup)

  • #

    Off-site backup is not an option if you care about your data. And, it MUST run on a daily basis.
    # Test your backups

    This is the hardest part. You must, on a regular basis, make sure that your backups are working. At the least, once a month, download one or two folders from your backup.

There is a hugely interesting comment about getting rsync to pick up resource forks - though I am not sure what happens to them when they land on a Linux (or other non-HFS+) host

Web hosting Linux Macintosh Backups

  • Apple *partially* fixed the problem and patched rsync in 10.4 to add the -E option, but the rsync server must be running the same patch.

    This will show you which files have resource forks:
    find . -type f -exec test -s {}/..namedfork/rsrc \; -print
