10. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 Backup and Restore Backup devices Tape Devices ‒ Problems with tapes ‒ The buffer utility ‒ Tapes and random file access Writable CD and DVD ‒ CDs 650MB ($.15-30 each) ‒ DVDs 4.7 GB ($.20-43 each) ‒ DVDs (DL) 8.5 GB ($2-4 each) ‒ Blu-ray 25 GB ($8-12 each) ‒ 1-5 years to 100's of years (if stored properly) Other Removable Media Devices USB/Firewire Solid state, external drives Hard drives and RAID Arrays

11. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 Backup and Restore Types of Data System Data ‒ Basic information to set and run the system Application Software ‒ Best to reinstall from source installation disks Databases ‒ Most important data types User Data ‒ Includes site work User Data and Home Directories ‒ Includes e-mail, files from home directory for personal use

12. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 Backup and Restore Methodologies Epoch ‒ Arbitrary time interval that denotes a beginning Incremental ‒ All files that have been added or changed since epoch Differential ‒ Similar but easier than incremental, only uses two tapes File ghosting ‒ Anomaly of the backup and restoration process where deleted files turn up again!

13. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 Backup and Restore Archive Utilities dump/restore ‒ Oldest and most trusted backup utility ‒ Backs up filesystems, not files (block-based and fast) ‒ Multiple levels of incremental backups tar ‒ Used to archive or backup files, directories, hard disks cpio ‒ Copy input/output ‒ can use output of find command for wide range of file selection critera (by type, user, modification time, etc)

14. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 Backup and Restore Compression Utilities compress ‒ Traditional compression utility ‒ Not on CentOS 5 zip ‒ Used for compressing, archiving files into single archive ‒ compatible with WinZip gzip ‒ Used for compressing, uncompressing files one at a time bzip2 ‒ New, slower, but better compression device

[Table 1-4] 4.Delete and then restore xampp/lang/jp.php from the backup directory What command did you use? [Table 9-12]

30. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 tar command Size can differ between tarfile and backed up file Tarfiles  Tarfile can be smaller than backed up file as it only saves the date, not unused portion of data blocks  Tarfile can be larger if backed up file is a sparse file  Additional empty blocks can be added to tar version

31. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 Tarfiles  Additional empty blocks can be added to tar version tar command du size can differ between tarfile and backed up file du report shows more disk space used than original for copy and tar extracts original file ls command show same size for original, copy and tar extracts Note: the –s option is to handle sparse files (discussed later)

32. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 Tarfiles  Additional empty blocks can be added to tar version [root@benji ~]# stat messages /var/log/messages sparse/messages nosparse/messages File: `messages' Size: 127538 Blocks: 272 IO Block: 4096 regular file File: `/var/log/messages' Size: 127538 Blocks: 254 IO Block: 4096 regular file File: `sparse/messages' Size: 127538 Blocks: 272 IO Block: 4096 regular file File: `nosparse/messages' Size: 127538 Blocks: 272 IO Block: 4096 regular file [root@benji ~]# tar command Size can differ between tarfile and backed up file stat command shows copy and files extracted from tarfile have additional blocks which explains why file size is the same but disk usage is higher.

33. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 tar command sparse files Sparse Files  Null blocks (containing only zeroes) are not stored on the disk  Can be problematic if utilities don't recognize them [root@benji ~]# cd /var/log [root@benji log]# ls -l lastlog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 234476 Nov 22 05:18 lastlog [root@benji log]# du -h lastlog 16K lastlog Note the reduced size of the file actually stored on the disk using du –h command

34. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 Sparse Files  tar command without using the sparse option (-S) for sparse file tar command sparse files The tarfile has expanded all the null blocks increasing disk space usage [root@benji ~]# cd /var/log [root@benji log]# tar cvf /root/lastlog.tar lastlog lastlog [root@benji log]# cd /root [root@benji ~]# ls -l lastlog.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 245760 Nov 22 05:19 lastlog.tar [root@benji ~]# du -h lastlog.tar 248K lastlog.tar [root@benji ~]# tar xvf lastlog.tar lastlog [root@benji ~]# ls -l lastlog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 234476 Nov 22 05:18 lastlog [root@benji ~]# du -h lastlog 240K lastlog

35. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 Sparse Files  tar command using the sparse option (-S) with sparse file tar command sparse files [root@benji ~]# cd /var/log [root@benji log]# tar cSvf /root/lastlog2.tar lastlog lastlog [root@benji log]# cd /root [root@benji ~]# tar xvf lastlog2.tar lastlog [root@benji ~]# ls -l lastlog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 234476 Nov 22 05:18 lastlog [root@benji ~]# du -h lastlog 20K lastlog [root@benji ~]# Using the -S option, the tar command handles the sparse file efficiently

36. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 tar command compression tar file(s) -C dir c t vf x tarfile The z option uses gzip compresssion and the j option uses bzip2 compression bzip2 is slower, but compresses more gzip is faster, but compreses less

37. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 tar command compression Backing up htdocs with no compression

38. CIS 191 - Lesson 11 tar command compression Post-compression using gzip of archive

What to use instead for backups on machines that can't umount disks regularly? Note that dump simply won't work reliably at all even in 2.4.x: the buffer cache and the page cache (where all the actual data is) are not coherent. This is only going to get even worse in 2.5.x, when the directories are moved into the page cache as well.Mailingdata So anybody who depends on "dump" getting backups right is already playing russian rulette with their backups. It's not at all guaranteed to get the right results - you may end up having stale data in the buffer cache thatends up being "backed up". Dump was a stupid program in the first place. Leave it behind. > I've always thought "tar" was a bit undesirable (updates atimes or > ctimes for example). Right now, the cpio/tar/xxx solutions are definitely the best ones, and will work on multiple filesystems (another limitation of "dump"). Whatever problems they have, they are still better than the _guaranteed_(*) data corruptions of "dump". However, it may be that in the long run it would be advantageous to have a "filesystem maintenance interface" for doing things like backups and defragmentation.. Linus (*) Dump may work fine for you a thousand times. But it _will_ fail under the right circumstances. And there is nothing you can do about it.
