  • Storebackup 3.5.1
    StoreBackup 3.5.1 https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/storebackup January 27, 2020 1 Super Quick Start StoreBackup is a very space efficient disk-to-disk backup suite for GNU/Linux and other unixoid systems. Additional details and help are provided in later sections of this document. In these brief quick start steps we make certain simplifying assumptions. If you are OK with that, then proceed as follows: 1. Download the source from https://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/storebackup/ 2. Unpack it (using tar -jxvf) into /opt (it will make the folder /opt/storeBackup.)1 3. Create symbolic links. In a terminal, run these 2 commands (the 2nd line ends with: space,dot): # cd /usr/local/bin # ln -s /opt/storeBackup/bin/* . 4. Run your first backup with this command (substituting your actual username in the command):2 storeBackup.pl --sourceDir /home/your_username --backupDir /tmp/my_master_backup This may take a while. Open a second shell and see what happens in the backup directory. You have now backed up your home directory to /tmp/my master backup. For more details, please continue reading; especially see installation, section 2 and storeBackup.pl, section 6.2. If the above steps gave you any challenges, don’t worry. This document will cover everything from storeBackup installation to NFS server settings in much more detail. See storeBackup’s Top Features on the next page 1You need root permissions to install storeBackup at /opt/storeBackup and to follow the next steps. You can also unpack and run storeBackup from a place where you do not have root permissions.

  • Lenovo's Acquisition of IBM's PC Division
    Lenovo’s Acquisition of IBM’s PC Division 1 @2009, ESCP Europe Business School, London ecch the case for learning This case was written by Dr. Terence Tse and Jerome Couturier, ESCP Europe Business School. It is intended to be used as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a management situation. The case was compiled from published sources. Lenovo’s Acquisition of IBM’s PC Division: A Short-cut to be a World Player or a Lemon that Leads Nowhere? Terence Tse and Jerome Couturier INTRODUCTION On April 20, 2004, a group of directors at Lenovo gathered in a windowless conference room on the 10th floor of a high-rise building in Beijing, at the Lenovo’s headquarters. The meeting was of critical importance to the future of the company. The one and only item on the agenda was to evaluate the potential acquisition of IBM’s personal computer (PC) division. Amongst many concerns debated, the central one remained whether Lenovo’s executives were capable of running a complex global business. Such an acquisition would open the way for China’s largest computer manufacturer to purchase Big Blue’s PC division for US$ 1.75 billion. In turn, IBM had agreed to take an 18.9% stake in the new Lenovo. Based in Beijing, Lenovo began as a spin-off of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ (“the Academy”) new technology unit in 1994. It started its life as a reseller/distributor for AST computers and later HP and IBM. The company began making its own brand PC in 1990.
