What is best Linux Backup Server ?

Hello ,

​

I have three machines with three different IP addresses they have MYSQL data and I want to make a backup server for all three machines I mean backup the data on those three machines in one machine to be my backup server and of course I will give this server an IP address that I can reach using those three machines.

​

Honestly I don't know where to begin ? and which one to use ? I'm using Debian


1- bacula-server
2- borgbackup
3 - deja-dup
4 - rsync


I have to choose one of those and my question would it be easy to restore the data on a new machine ?


Best Regards

Linux timeline website

Hi guys,

I am trying to find something. Couple of years back (maybe around 15... ufff), there was a site that have published the Linux timeline - distorts, main events, etc. In a file, that you print, then hang on your admin room wall and take a photo with it. Then they publish it and that’s it.
They published our photo - 3 young admins, proud that they can install (and then use) Slack, Gentoo & OpenBSD... one of the three is no longer on this earth and I want to find this photo and show it to his kids - in his most natural environment ...
So anyone remember this. It was a long print of A4s that you put together snake-like.

Thank you all!

Since today, linux is the first OS to fly on a different planet.

I just learned that Ingenuity, the Mars helicopter, runs linux, making that the first OS to fly on another planet.

That's one for the history books alright. Makes one feel proud to use it. Also, it shows the sheer versatility and reliability of the OS.

Mr Torvalds, you created something very special.

Based on a thread in /r/linuxmemes, I made an interactive challenge in docker to test if you can delete files with weird characters safely

If anyone wants to be the first to try it and give me some feedback:

docker run --rm -it public.ecr.aws/p5e0b0g4/kjpgit/linux-jedi-challenge:latest

That's it. It's ubuntu 18.04 based, no tab completion :-)

What's the deal with Bryan Lunduke?

I used to watch him a couple of years ago, but it seems that stuff happened. I'll give you a few examples, but I don't see him being mentioned too much anymore, despite the fact he seemed to be quite prominent back when I watched him.

My examples: the HTTPS insecure stuff, conspiracies, his leaving social media and coming back several times, the fluctuation of paywalling his content, and more. I'm very confused as to what happened—why he's not as prominent anymore, and what happened in the interim between the time I stopped watching him (\~2018ish) to now. Can someone fill me in?

Can binaries for Linux work on different architecture or re-compilation is needed?

Linux can run on different platforms, including different ISA's. I was wondering if any binaries are used for x86 Linux, can it then run natively on arm, or Risc-V? Or does that software need to be compiled again for that specific platform?

Thank you so much in advance!
