The instructions don’t really change for the 32-bit version, except for the installer file name. The first steps: Go over to the JungleDisk Business page and sign up for, and download, the server edition. Now, this edition comes in two very important parts: The server-side program, and the management-side program. The server-side program is what runs on your server. That’s the “backup engine” if you will. You will download the program appropriate for your server environment. The management-side program is the program that you remotely connect to the “server” to configure it. You will download the program appropriate for running on your desktop computer. It is fine to download the server-side version for Linux and the management-side version for Windows, if that is your configuration. In this case, I’m downloading the Linux .deb server-side installer for 64-bit linux, and the Windows management-side program. I can’t give you the actual download links; you’ll find them in your account page. |

| http://mikebeach.org/2011/03/30/backing-up-your-server-using-jungledisk-server-edition-part-2/ Backing up your server using JungleDisk Server Edition – part 2 In part 1, I told you how to set up JungleDisk backup for your Linux server. In this part 2, I’ll tell you how to automatically have it dump and backup your MySQL databases (correctly)! There are security implications if this permissions are not set correctly on the files, as you’re storing your MySQL password in the script, and you’re going to have complete database dumps sitting on your hard drive. However, I will attempt to explain as clearly as possible my solution, and I’m not responsible if it doesn’t work for you. So, start out by deciding where you want your database-dumping script to run from. A few good example spots are /root (root users home directory), and /etc/jungledisk (with the configuration files). I’ve called my backup script prebackup.sh. You’ll understand the name further below, but I’m going to use that name the rest of the way through. So create your prebackup.sh script as root, and set it to mode 700. touch prebackup.sh && chmod 0700 prebackup.sh This makes sure that root is the only user who can read, write, or execute it. Now, using your favorite text editor, you can use the following sample script: |

| http://mikebeach.org/2011/04/26/backing-up-your-server-using-jungledisk-server-edition-part-3/ Backing up your server using JungleDisk Server Edition – part 3 This is the third part in a three-part series. Make sure to read part 1 and part 2! The one bad thing I’ve come to notice about the JungleDisk Server Edition is, over time, it tends to hog a lot of memory, even when it’s not running backups. The author at geektank.net noticed this too, and recommended it may not be a good fit for low-memory VPS configurations. But if JungleDisk is a good fit for your needs, and the memory usage is the only issue, here’s something to try. It’s either a clever solution or an ugly workaround. Call it what you will. What we’re going to do is create a cron job that will restart jungledisk when it is done running the backup, which will free up any potentially wasted memory. So, we’ll start by creating a postbackup.sh script to run after your backup job. For advice on how to create and schedule this script, see my previous article, Backing up your server using JungleDisk Server Edition – part 2. |

| https://www.jungledisk.com/downloads/business/server/releasenotes.aspx Release notes for Jungle Disk Server Edition Jungle Disk Server Edition allows server administrators to backup files and directories from their servers onto their choice of Cloud Storage service (Amazon S3 and Rackspace Cloud Files currently supported). The Server Edition includes a brand new Backup Engine with advanced features including: Support for very large files (no file size or backup size limits) Block-level de-duplication Compression Efficient support for backing up lots of small files Remote management from any Mac, Windows, or Linux PC Block-level incremental backups Full extended filesystem information backups (permissions, special files, etc) Multiple upload connections for increased throughput AES-256 encryption with user-controlled key Transactional backup snapshots using VSS on Windows Servers Corrected an issue that could cause multiple system tray icons to appear in certain Linux distributions Backup vault databases exceeding 4 GB in size on 32-bit Linux platforms no longer fail to upload Cancelling an active backup now works properly when multiple online disks are connected Improved the installation experience on Ubuntu 11.04. Note that it is safe to proceed with installation if you receive a "The package is of bad quality" message. This is a known issue with Ubuntu (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/712377 ) Reduced memory usage when executing a backup vault cleanup. Corrected an issue that could cause missed backups to not execute, even when the "run missed backups as soon as possible" option was set Corrected an issue that could cause scheduled backup jobs to occassionaly run twice |

| http://techspotting.org/jungle-disk-linux-remote-backup/ JUNGLE DISK LINUX REMOTE BACKUP Jungle Disk is an online backup tool that uses Amazon S3 for storage, after the initial backup it only transfers the parts of the file that have changed (similar to Rsync). Which is handy for minimising your network bandwidth and data transfer costs! I guess you could call it “Cloud Backup” I prefer remote backup, but i’m old skool Worth noting JD Server can also be used to backup Mac & Windows boxes, however I am using Jungle Disk to backup Debian, Ubuntu & CentOS servers. |
