I have a database that I need to provide redundancy for. It is Codebase, but using a typical SQL database uses too much CPU, and having the DB offsite causes too much latency in my process. I need a viable solution for providing data redundancy with an offsite location for my time criticla process. ...
I've seen lots of ways to backup a single repository in subversion. Is there any way to backup all the repositories in one go. I have lots of repositories for different projects and don't want to have to create a script every time. ...
I still have a large number of floppies. On some of them there probably is source code I don't want to lose. I also don't want to take look at each one individually, as that's going to take a lot of time. What software would be best for copying all data to a hard disk, preferably while creating an index at the same time? I would also be...
Hello I have a hosting account with servergrid.com. I want to backup my database, they say I have to use Sql Server Integration Service to backup the database and I would need a commercial version of Sql Server management studio. I have Sql Server 2005 Developer Edition. I have no idea how to do SSIS backup. I tried playing around with...

My hosting provider (pairNetworks) has certain rules for scripts run on the server. I'm trying to compress a file for backup purposes, and would ideally like to use bzip2 to take advantage of its AWESOME compression rate. However, when trying to compress this 90 MB file, the process sometimes runs upwards of 1.5 minutes. One of the resou...
I'm known around the office as "the backup guy". As a developer, I often jump back and forth between projects, and as a result I don't always remember exactly what changes were present in each when I return to them. I usually have to compare my local changes versus those in our source control system, and then I'll eventually remember it ...
We used to have a company policy that stated that we were to use an automated back up tool to back up the important directories on our workstations to network drives. I was just informed by one of our Architects that we were no longer allowed to backup our workstations to network drives, or even use our network drives. We have been instr...
Do you know any (open source) Java library that provides file synchronization/backup functionality? Many thanks. ...
I'm using a hosting service which allows me to backup my SQL 2008 database and download the BAK file via a web interface only--and I have access to the database via Management Studio. I can execute the backup command from Management Studio,but I don't have rights to the path where the backups are located. Is there any way via SQL or scri...
I have a server that hosts my Subversion code base. That server is currently a Server 2003 box, and my IT admin wants to update it to Server 2008. This means that I'm going to need to move my Subversion repository while the server gets built up and was wondering what the best practices are for moving the repository to a new server. It...
Are there any built in methods in System.Configuration that would allow one to backup the currently running apps XXX.exe.config file. Or if not, how would one retrieve the current applications config file name for backup. ...
I have terabytes of files and database dumps that I need to backup off-site. What's the best way to accomplish this? I'm currently weighing rsyinc to Amazon EBS or getting an appliance (eg barracuda). I called a buddy of mine, and he said he uses backula to get all the files on a single disk, then backs that disk up to tape, then send...
I'm too spoiled by Windows utilities that take a digital snapshot of your entire drive, which you can then restore from in the event of a drive crash. (e.g. like Time Machine for Mac OS X). Is there a similar way of doing this in Linux? ...
How do I make a backup of a PLSQL db? ...
I'm working with an application that logs to Windows Application Log regularly (viewable through the Event Viewer administrative tool), and I'm looking for a way to back it up on a daily basis. This is important because we sometimes discover a problem with the application - and to investigate further we need information that was logged a...
mysqldump is probably not the best idea on running backups every x hours but is the one that we are currently using. The backups are around 150 Megs each so sending it to other machines could waste many gigs of bandwidth. Is there any tool or application or script that could automate the creation of the backup and the upload to s3 am...
The application that I am working on generates files dynamically with use. This makes backup and syncronization between staging,development and production a real big challenge. One way that we might get smooth solution (if feasable) is to have a script that at the moment of backing up the database can backup the dynamically generated f...
Is there a way to restore an Sql Server 2005 DB to Sql Server 2000? I'm unable to attach it either. Any tools, ideas etc? ...
Everyone uses source-code control to manage versions (right?) and this provides some level of backup. There are times, however, when your local copy is out of sync with the repository. Moreover, some sandbox-type projects may not have yet ;-) made it into SCC. EDIT: I have multiple projects in my projects directories. Not all are in...
