How to backup a Linux server over ssh using Leopard?

I have a server running Linux, and my main machine is a Macbook running Leopard. I want to back up the entire root directory (including subdirectories) of the Linux server to an external HDD attached to Macbook.
My initial thought was to mount the Linux server's root directory on Leopard using sshfs, and then use RSyncX to backup that mounted directory on external HDD attached to Leopard. Unfortunately sshfs mounted directories are not treated as "drives" by RsyncX (and a lot of other apps).
Can someone help? Thanks!

I am currently in the process of setting up a small form factor pc running a linux distro as my router/firewall and will be looking for a backup system on my network which is mostly mac based.
I just googled 'timemachine for linux' and got a few good results.
http://handsonhowto.com/2007/timemachine4linux/
and also a tool call flyback
You could also try setting up your backup drive as an NFS sharepoint.

I know my post does not answer your issue directly but flyback is the solution I am going to try.

Trouble sharing mac internet to linux server over ethernet

Hi. I turned on internet sharing over ethernet to my linux server which is a dell poweredge. I went into network and at first it had a self assigned IP. Then I manually changed it to the correct subnet and the same IP address as my mac. Since I know the gateway is 192.168.1.1 and my mac is 192.168.1.5 ! I realize that the IP address is taken but I didnt know since they share the internet connection and I didnt know wether to assign a completely new IP address or keep the same one as the mac. Thanks

IP address of my mac connection to the base station is 10.0.1.5, 255.255.255.0 subnet, router (Default gateway) address is 10.0.1.1
IP address of my iMac's ethernet going to the switch is 10.0.1.10, 255.255.255.0 Subnet. "Router: 10.0.1.1"
There's your problem.
You have the SAME subnet for both interfaces on the iMac. This is not valid, and will prevent internet sharing from working
Each interface has to be in a different subnet. If your wireless link is using 10.0.1.x/255.255.255.0 then your wired interface has to use something different. Choose either something else in the 10.x.x.x range (e.g. 10.1.1.x/255.255.255.0), or something completely different (e.g. 192.168.1.x/255.255.255.0).
Your PC will need to have an IP address in the same subnet as the iMac's wired interface and its gateway address should be the address set for the iMac's wired interface.

Mail backup to linux server?

How to print from linux to Mac printer using cups - password?

I think that I have done the correct things to share my printer from my OS X 10.4 Mac mini (my MacBook is happy to print on the Mac mini printer), and my Ubuntu Linux computer seems to be ready to print using cups. Linux can see the printer on Mac mini, but when I try to send a print job the Mac refuses access. I assume the problem is that the Linux computer needs to send the Mac a password, but I don't know how to do that -- where in the sequence of information coming from the Linux computer the password should be, what format, how to get the Linux computer to send the info through lpadmin or the GUI. All that.
Can anyone help? Preferably with step-by-step instructions for the complete idiot. I have seen FAQs on printing, but there is no information about passwords. And most are focussed on smb rather than cups.

I use linux and print through the Mac - but I don't have the trouble you are describing.
There are 2 places to enable print sharing on Mac - have you done both of those?
What protocol are you using - the easiest for CUPS is IPP (port 631). I have an Ubuntu computer at home - describe exactly how you add the printer and I'll be able to follow through.

How much memory does SQL Server 2008R2 Standard use on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit?

Hi,
can anyone tell me how much RAM will really be used by SQL Server?
72 GB are currently installed. As Windows is only able to use 32 GB is SQL Server able to use the other 40GB + the unused part of the first 32 GB?
Thank you very much!
BR Matthias

Sorry, I don´t understand your post ?!
Maybe the question is if SQL Server is able to allocate more memory than the installed Windows Version is able to?
Since your OS is Windows Standard edition(X64) it cannot use or a process running cannot use more than 32 G of memory.
Now SQL server can use as much memory possible but it is now limited by Windows as your OS can only see 32 G.So it would be good part from your side to go to sp_configure and set 25 G for SQL server and can leave rest for OS( it just a figure not a actual
value i have given,actual you have to calculate by yourself or refer to below link) .
http://mssqlwiki.com/2013/04/22/max-server-memory-do-i-need-to-configure/
As Andrew said after 32 G what ever memory you put it is waste.
Hope this helps

How to backup to OSX server sitting in a different network?

Hi, i have a mac mini with 3 TB of external hard drive running on a diffrent network range. I want a couple of users to backup their data on their machine to the mac mini server which is running the time machine backup server. How do i achieve this?

Are you getting an error? The way you have it set up, you can have an error and it will never be displayed. Put and error control on your front panel and see what it gives you. Also, shared variables in a project can be useful. Look at some examples for that.

How to consume SAP enterprise services over https using third party tools?

Hi guys,
am just testing consumption of ES using jboss instead of NW for client applications. The ES in our internal ERP are bit strange, ie. they are using HTTPS transport even though you can configure ES with HTTP transport. (in this case, the requests are always redirected to HTTPS one). Wanna hear from perhaps someone who had similar experiences about
- Have you encountered the situation that ES can only exposed as HTTPS WS. Is there any way to enable HTTP ES?
- The way to consume ES over HTTPs. How to configure and generate the client which can talk HTTPs with ES?
Any comnments are thankful.
Best,
Ji
Edited by: Ji Hu on Oct 1, 2010 3:20 PM

Thanks.
Have solved the problem. I need to configure my client, i.e. JVM to connect the server with https. The generated ws client stub itself does not need to care about HTTPS or HTTP transport.
In some case, one do have enabled HTTP transport via soamanager, but it never became HTTP (redirected to HTTPS). I have no idea why, but have to talk in HTTPS as the only one option.

How to obtain a variable Server Account Name using an @SQl with an @variable_server_ name + 'master.dbo.xp.instance.regread ...'

Hi,
I am trying to make a flexible script to get the Service Account Name from several servers.
I am using "servername.master.dbo.xp_instance_regread.......", but I want to use a variable for the servername.
So I started doing this:
Declare @servername varchar(100)
Declare @SQL varchar(1000)
Declare @agtServAccName varchar(250)
set @servername = 'Server1'
set @sql = @servername + '.master.dbo.xp_instance_regread
N''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'',
N""SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SQLSERVERAGENT'',
N''ObjectName'',
@AgtServAccName Output,
N''no_output'''
Execute (@SQL)
How am I able to get a flexible script (@sql), which gives me the Service Account Name of the server called @servername after I execute this script (@sql)
If there is another way without this regread, I like to hear that too ofcourse...
EDIT: the reason I use a variable for the servicename is, that I am running it on a central management server and not on the server with this servername itself.

This did the trick. Now I can loop through all my centrally managed servers and obtain the Service Account Names.
Thanks for the help. There's probably a better way to do it (sp_executesql?) , but at least I got something.
Declare @ServerName varchar(50)
Declare @SQL as varchar(500)
If object_id('tempdb..#ServAccName') is not null
drop table #ServAccName;
create table #ServAccName (ServAccName varchar(50))
set @ServerName = 'Server1'
set @SQL = '
declare @ServAccName varchar(50)
execute ' + @ServerName + '.master.dbo.xp_instance_regread
                   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
                   ''SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSQLServer'',
                  ObjectName,
                  @ServAccName OUTPUT
Insert #ServAccName Select @ServAccName
Exec (@SQL)
Select ServAccName from #ServAccName

Remote photoshop scripting over SSH

I'm trying to get AppleScript scripts to execute on a remote rendering server over SSH (using the osascript command line utility). However, whenever I try to do most anything, I get various Photoshop and/or AppleScript errors that I never get when trying to run the exact same scripts locally. Ultimately, I'm trying to execute a JavaScript file passing JSON arguments from Applescript, called over SSH. Please forgive the verbosity introduced by the simple initial example.
Server: OS X 10.8.5
Photoshop: CC 2014
I see the same type of errors whether I SSH into a server and do the following manually in a shell after logging in, or feed a command to SSH to execute directly (e.g., ssh user@host 'osascript /path/to/script.scpt'). Starting from a basic example, I tried running the following AppleScript snippet. I tried entering it into osascript by hand via stdin, as well as writing it out to a file and calling it remotely. Both resulted in no new file being created, but a success message.
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014"
     make new document
end tell
No matter how I try to run this remotely, I get the response "document Untitled" from osascript, and Photoshop pops up an error dialog: "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
More specific to what I'm trying to do, I've got the following code:
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014"
     with timeout of 30 seconds
          do javascript("/path/to/local/file.js") with arguments ({"{\"json\": \"document\", ...}"})
     end timeout
end tell
When I try to run this locally, I never have a problem. But when I run it over ssh (again, either from the command line or by passing the command directly to ssh), I always get the following:
script error: Expected end of line but found identifier. (-2741)
In addition to osascript stopping with that error, Photoshop also pops up the same error dialog: "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
Anyone have any suggestions or thoughts with regard to how I can get all this working?
Thanks,
Brian

I was able to work around this constraint using a daemon on the local host. However, it would be nice if I could do away with this bit of server code....
Thanks,

GUI to simplify my Mac speaking to a Linux server

Hi everyone,
I've managed to communicate successfully with Amazon Elastic Cloud Linux servers
through the secure shell.
My aim is to use the servers as a render farm. I don't just need to move files
between my Mac and the Linux server but I also need to install appliactions and
manage the servers as part of my network.
Is there any graphic interface remote-desktop style client that you recommend?
Would make life much easier as I'm not terribly skilled with the command line.
Best Wishes
El

I have no idea if this would work with the cloud server, but No Machine has a free client/server system that would provide you with a remote desktop environment in a local window over ssh. You'll need to install the NX client on the server via CLI, and the client on your local machine. http://www.nomachine.com/download.php
Many file browsers, particularly linux file browsers, can be set up to communicate over ssh as well. This enables drag and drop file transfers. For example, here is a guide for using Nautilus over ssh: http://linuxers.org/article/how-connect-over-ssh-using-nautilusfile-manager

Ctrl+Shift+Option+5 registers as Option+5 in custom emacs build or over ssh

I'm having trouble with custom emacs and emacs over ssh with Leopard. Included below is the text of the bug report I filed with Apple. If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, I'd love to hear about them.
It won't let me change the OS on this post for some reason, but I'm running Leopard, not Tiger.
In Terminal.app Version 2.0 (237) when I ssh into my Gentoo Linux server and run emacs, or if I run a custom-compiled version of emacs in terminal mode locally, pressing CtrlShift+Option5 (which should bring up "Query replace regexp:" in the bottom input bar) registers as if only Option+5 was pressed.
NOTE: I am using the new aluminum USB-2.0 apple keyboard connected to a MacBook Pro running Leopard 9A581. I have not tested any other hardware configurations.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/emacs-22.1.tar.gz
2. Untar the above
3. cd emacs/mac && ./make-package --self-contained
4. Copy or move Emacs.app to /Applications
5. From Terminal.app run "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -nw"
6. Press CtrlShift+Option5
OR
1. SSH into a linux server and run emacs.
2. Press CtrlShift+Option5
Expected Results:
"Query replace regexp:" should appear in the input line at the bottom of the screen.
Actual Results:
"ESC 5-" shows up. The escape key is an alternate meta-key, so this indicates that the program believes Meta+5 was pushed, where the actual meta-key that I'm using is Option.
I never noticed this problem in any version of Tiger, but it occurs in Leopard.

Perhaps, you should try to reset your preference file to see if it corrects itself. I have posted the instructions at this link:

Good luck.

System backup of HANA server and HANA DB.

Hi .
I'm creating some of documents for maintenance operation - hana server .
I want to confirm about backup of "HANA Server" . Also HANA server is SUSE linux , so normally I get backup of linux server by dump/restore command , use dd command when server offline and on rescue mode kernel , or use something disk(partition) image backup tool .
I think it can use for SUSE linux server - HANA Server too.
In this time , if I get backup image of all disk that contains all HANA related files including persistent storage (of course hana is offline when get backup) , then I restore this image , can I use this HANA DB ?
I see some of documents of HANA backup , but I never find about this type system backup . It is not supported operation?
Regards,
JT

HI Jim,
standard Linux system backup/recovery methods apply also for the SAP HANA servers.
However, backing up the SAP HANA database is only supported by the backup commands.

How to adjust audio duration/speed over time?

I watched a video on how to adjust video duration/speed over time, using time remapping and keyframes, but it does not seem to affect audio for some reason. Is there a way to adjust the speed/duration of audio over time like you can with video?

Oh you need to do it in AE? That's... kinda.. unneeded but okay. Thanks!
