Grsync - Rosenberger Communications Grsync - Rosenberger Communications https://ro-kom.de/grsync/ Rosenberger Communications grsync Grsync is a program with a graphical interface and is suitable for synchronizing data and for data backup. Whether inside the home or remote computers and servers, this program supports this task perfectly. Grsync, the graphical interface is based on the terminal program "rsync". These two professional programs have the open source software license GPL and are available for free. Grsync can create copy the backup by simple, that is, conversely, if need be, the files can be restored without "grsync". The rsync protocol is much faster than normal transfer protocols and faster than any normal copying. 1 von 18 12.03.19, 07:25 Grsync - Rosenberger Communications https://ro-kom.de/grsync/ contents 1.

Apple's "Time Machine" also comes with a safety concept. It w orks similar to the known in Linux "Back Intime", which is also based on "rsync". 3.1. start program The installed program can be started from the Start menu, or application menus or Dash. Enter in the terminal "grsync" the program will start as well. 4. Help and support In general shall "Grsync" be described in any Linux reference book or books that carry only the book title "Linux". The same is true also "rsync". This command is found in every Linux command reference. 4.1. tooltips Tooltips are statements that appear over the options or text when the mouse passes over it. rsync arguments are displayed and sometimes a very short notice. This is probably the most effective aid in Grsync. 4.2. Help from authors 3 von 18 12.03.19, 07:25 Grsync - Rosenberger Communications https://ro-kom.de/grsync/ Help for "rsync" is called in the terminal with "rsync -help" or "rsync -h". The manual for "rsync" is to be invoked also in the terminal with "man rsync". On the Internet this Grsync page is http://www.opbyte.it/grsync/ find many references. A diverse documentation page of "rsync" is here on the net https://rsync.samba.org/, it is also the home page of "rsync". 4.3.

Orsoni Piero About the author and his intention with "Grsync" here https://www.hostingadvice.com /blog/grsync-is-an-open-source-gui-for-rsync/ a nice contribution. 6. Description of the graphical interface The surface is available in several languages, including German, English and Italian. In this guide, I use the German language version. Nevertheless rudimentary English, you require experience as all original aids are usually written in English in the terminal. A disadvantage of "Grsync" versus "rsync" I will not hide. The graphical interface can not display all the parameters of "rsync" as options. Despite everything that this program facilitates the semi-professional entry in the data backup and synchronization, it can "rsync" terminal command does not really represent. But what "Grsync" can, is probably sufficient for most users and that seems to be the goal of the author. And this manual here is certainly not suitable for system administrators. Unfortunately, "Grsync" is missing an option that includes the same seven parameters "-t -p -o -g -r -l D", the archive mode with the "-a". Professional therefore remains to use even only in the terminal "rsync". 6.1. menu 4 von 18 12.03.19, 07:25 Grsync - Rosenberger Communications https://ro-kom.de/grsync/ Below the window control is the menu. It consists of three menu items "File", "meeting" and "Help". a) "File" menu Select source directory ... Ctrl + S Select Destination Directory ... Ctrl + D Swap source and destination Interesting for multiple computers simulation Alt + S For error correction settings To run Alt + E Rsync command line Alt + R Interesting for your own scripts settings break up Ctrl + Q b) Menu "sessions" Add Alt + A Clear Alt + D Import Export c) "Help" menu info corresponds to "About" or "About" Rsync information Version, website, author, license and others take part to http://www.opbyte.it/contribute.html Link 6.2. toolbar The toolbar is below the menu bar. It involves starting from the left Name of the session Symbol to add a session or meeting Group Icon to delete a session or meeting Group The last two symbols are 5 von 18 12.03.19, 07:25 Grsync - Rosenberger Communications https://ro-kom.de/grsync/ The issue and warnings of ongoing or completed session Far right, the icon to run the selected session 6.3. Bar with three tabs They are divided into "Standard Options", "Advanced Options" and "additional options". Standard options 6 von 18 12.03.19, 07:25 Grsync - Rosenberger Communications https://ro-kom.de/grsync/ Expanded options additional options 7 von 18 12.03.19, 07:25 Grsync - Rosenberger Communications https://ro-kom.de/grsync/ Under '7. Backup these three tabs are now dealt with separately in their function. " 7. backup Now a backup of the personal folder by the user "resu" on a computer connected to the external USB drive. In the future, data backups may take place more remote computers. If necessary, all I can additionally create an explicit example. Beware, the destination directory must not be within the source directory. Or different if / home is secured, the target directory should not also be in "/ home". This can happen when a subfolder of "/ home" is, for example, to another disk or another partition, such as "/ sda1 / home / resu /" and "/ sdb2 / home / resu / backup". 7.1. preparations If all the preparations are complete, you can start. Nevertheless, here are a few pointers. If the external device or the network drive is connected and mounted If the write permissions available for these devices, otherwise demand "Grsync" with elevated privileges, such as sudo, start or write access with su or sudo in the destination directory Check the free space on the fastest way in the terminal with "df -h" or graphically with "drives" or "drives" install "gnome-disk-utility" All updates are installed and the final restart was carried out An interruption of the backup operation can be excluded, as well as a cat on keyboard UPS is active because an incremental backup for private or small business usually is below 5 minutes would also guarantee that an "uninterruptible power supply" 7.2. Tab "Standard options" The selection of directories for source and destination is very simple. In the two lines for an input source is entered manually or via the right switch, here with a folder icon, and the label "Open" in the top line. In the bottom line is the target directory. There do the same, as just the source is 8 von 18 12.03.19, 07:25 Grsync - Rosenberger Communications https://ro-kom.de/grsync/ acknowledged. a) source The source is the top-level directory data to be backed up even from. So not the primary root directory, but the top directory where yet to be backed up data. Do not worry, we come to exclusions from this directory, thus all the data that should not be backed up. In our example, the user's / home directory is "resu" secure. / Home / resu This path created in the target directory, create a folder named "resu". / Home / resu / This path ensures directly into the target directory. b) Target The target directory is ideally physically located outside of the computer. The convention of the path is determined, it can only be given the mounted address and not the mounted device. In our example, it is right with the Mounted address "/ run / media / resu / USB3 external / backup incremental /" The incorrect example for a path to the directory mounted device would be "/ dev / sdc1 / Backup incremental /" Examples of a network address "[email protected]: / home / resu2 / Backup" [email protected] ": / home / resu2 / Backup" For Internet addresses, only establish the SSH connection or the option "this command before" rsync "Run:" Using a script to let do it. c) Setting the default options To describe all the options is beyond the scope of this example. Therefore, I describe only the essential options. Otherwise applies, the programmer has already set the options that are appropriate for most users.

    “Fundamentals of Linux and Shell Programming” Prepared by Hirendra Deora Assistant Professor DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER ENGINEERING VYAS COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY JODHPUR (RAJASTHAN) September 2013 Introduction & Overview Chapter 1 Introduction & Overview 1.1Operating System An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is a vital component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function. Fig 1.1 Operating System 1.2Types Of Operating System a. Real-time A real-time operating system is a multitasking operating system that aims at executing real-time applications. Real-time operating systems often use specialized scheduling algorithms so that they can achieve a deterministic nature of behavior. The main objective of real-time operating systems is their quick and predictable response to events. They have an event-driven or time- sharing design and often aspects of both. An event-driven system switches between tasks based on their priorities or external events while time-sharing operating systems switch tasks based on clock interrupts. b. Multi-user A multi-user operating system allows multiple users to access a computer system at the same time. Time-sharing systems and Internet servers can be classified as multi-user systems as they enable multiple-user access to a Hirendra Deora Page 1 Fundamental of Linux & Shell Programming computer through the sharing of time.

  • COMP110 Practical 3 Access Control, Synchronisation and Remote Access 1 Introduction 2 File Permissions
    COMP110 Practical 3 Access Control, Synchronisation and Remote Access 1 Introduction This practical is intended to familiarise you with the file access control mechanisms of the file system used by the Department and relates to the following two module learning outcomes: • To effectively use relevant software packages and appreciate different types of software; • To effectively use general IT facilities including organising your file store, taking advantage of access control and security features of operating systems. By default, your own files can only be accessed by yourself. It is important that you understand why this is so, how you can check who can access your files or the files of others, how you restrict or open access to files, and how you change what can be done with a file. In addition, we will consider how you might best synchronise the files on the Departmental filestore with the files you have at home on a PC or laptop and how you can remotely access Departmental computing facilities. This document can be found at http://intranet.csc.liv.ac.uk/∼ullrich/COMP110/notes/practical03.pdf While you work through the tasks below compare your results with those of your fellow students and ask one of the demonstrators for help and comments if required. 2 File Permissions We will use the Department’s Linux systems for most of the exercises that follow. Use MobaXterm to connect to one of the departmental Linux systems. 2.1 Overview You have already seen that using ls -l you can get a ‘long listing’ of the files in the current directory.
