Use ftpsync to sync files to a ftpserver on FreeBSD

In the ports of FreeBSD I found a nice tool to sync a local directory to a remote FTP server.

First install ftpsync:

cd /usr/ports/ftp/ftpsync
make install clean

Next create a config file to configure ftpsync for synchronization:

localdir=/home/mariusvw/backups
ftpserver=rstore.mariusvw.com
ftpdir=/
ftpuser=username
ftppasswd=password

Next you have two options for syncing...

Get-sync from server:

ftpsync.pl -g cfg=financenetwerk_eu-v1.cfg

Put-sync to server:

ftpsync.pl -n cfg=financenetwerk_eu-v1.cfg

You can add the -p flag to not-prune directories on the target.

I don't use this program anymore for syncing but I can tell you, it works great if you want to easy upload a website to a live server.

Yet another sync script for two Western Digital ShareSpace drives via rsync

This script simply syncs from a WD ShareSpace drive to another WD ShareSpace drive.

On a FreeBSD (in my case) machine create the following files:

/backup/sharespace/ssh-wrapper

1
2
#!/bin/sh
sh /backup/run &

/backup/sharespace/run

After creating these files set these permissions and start the script:

chmod 700 /backup/sync.sh

Keep in mind that you setup SSH-keys before you use these scripts :-)

Have fun!

Rewrote Western Digital Sharespace to Sharespace synchronisation

For a script running from a FreeBSD server check this script.
~~~
I earlier wrote a script to sync two Western Digital ShareSpace drives. Since that was written in a hurry I thought lets have another good look at it...

I changed the checks for USB drives and sync the complete the shares directory instead of only the shares.

The following script is a new rewritten version of the old script which works faster for my use.

You may modify it to suit your situation but please leave the credits in the file :-)

Western Digital Sharespace to Sharespace backup solution

There is a newer version of this script available here.

For a script running from a FreeBSD server check this script.
~~~
Lately I've been busy with making a backup script to automate the backup of a WD Sharespace drive.

This script has been made to backup between two Sharespace drives.

The script works quite simple. In a endless loop it keeps on running when you start it to the background with: ./backup.sh &

It scans for the shares on your master drive and it will Rsync it to your slave drive on the share backup.

Put this script on your slave drive in /root/backup.sh

If you decide to modify this script please leave my name in the script.

Got my new iPhone 3Gs 32GB today, hurray!

After a week waiting its finally there. My new iPhone 3Gs :)

So far, I really like the speed of the phone, it works really fast. And the greatest thing of all, it was restored with the same settings in not even 5 minutes and then 2 minutes to sync my applications.

Up and running again with MobileMe and all my mail and application settings. Good job Apple!

*edit*:
I have tested the new camera, really nice to have a video feature now, the resolution is nice and the result is not blurry like most camera's. I'll see if I can post some examples :)
