Personal Backup VMWare Appliance

2008-01-05T18:59:00.000+07:00

opensource alternative to Norton Ghost Server + SyncToy in form of VMWare Appliance.

The Personal Backup Appliance (PBA) provides -TWO- crucial backup functions.

Hard Disk Clone, Backup and Restore
First, the Personal Backup Appliance provides a simple user-friendly interface to backup and restore entire hard disk drives over the network. This functionality is similar to that of commercial products such as Norton Ghost Server, but there is no added cost for additional software or hardware. This feature simplifies consumer hard disk backup, streamlines OS deployment in corporate IT environments, and provides a simple harness to backup and restore virtual machines in VMPlayer. Such a setup on physical hardware would require a non-trivial amount of time to set up on top of hardware costs. The intended audience is any consumer that wants a no-hassles backup solution. All you need to do is power on the VM, and then boot from the client on the system that you want to backup.
The Personal Backup Appliance backs up the entire hard disk. The MBR, partition table and all partitions are copied. The Personal Backup Appliance aims to be an easy and fast backup solution. Most partitions types such as NTFS, FAT16/32, and ext3 are supported by tools that understand the filesystem, so only the data is copied, and empty space is ignored. This makes copying very fast. For other partition types, raw copies are made. The technology working behind the scenes in PBA is not new. In fact, many of the open source programs and tools used in PBA have been around for a long time. The innovation in PBA is in the presentation and the integration of these programs and tools.

NAS Device
Second, the Personal Backup Appliance provides a simple NAS service for drag-and-drop incremental backup through Windows (SMB) shares. When coupled with helper backup software such as SyncToy (free download for Windows) or rsync, the PBA can provide similar functionality to commercial hardware products such as the Mirra Personal Server in addition to standard NAS services.

Lxadmin Host-InA-Box in OpenVZ

2008-01-05T09:31:00.000+07:00

Lxlabs' Lxadmin Host-InA-Box template cache for OpenVZ

Lxadmin^TM Host-In-A-Box ^TM, a full featured web hosting platform that supports apache/lighttpd, bind/djbdns and pure-ftpd, is the most revolutionary thing to happen to vps hosting. When used with lighttpd, it finally makes vps hosting a reasonable choice to the millions of people who are suffocating in the shared environment. The primary barrier to the vps adoption was the minimum RAM requirement, which was completely independent of the number of websites. Even if you had only a couple of websites, to run it comfortably you would at least need 256MB RAM. With its 15MB RAM requirement Lxadmin HIB finally makes a vps affordable to everyone.
