No hacks have been undertaken so far.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAll the following activity happens on the older “blue circle” model, MyBook #2:<\/p>\n
1. Enable SSH<\/p>\n
http:\/\/martin.hinner.info\/mybook\/sshaccess.php<\/p>\n
2. Follow instructions to make sshd boot every time. It involves using vi to edit \/etc\/inittab. Here is the 30 second guidebook:<\/p>\n
By default, vi starts in command mode which means if you start typing you will just wreck the file.<\/p>\n
Instead, use the h(left)j(down)k(up)l(right) keys to move around the file<\/p>\n
i will put you into insert mode. Type what you want and press <ESC> to get back to command mode.<\/p>\n
a will put you in append mode. Type what you want and press <ESC> to get back to command mode.<\/p>\n
x will delete the character to the left of the cursor<\/p>\n
dd will delete the whole line<\/p>\n
When in command mode, <ESC>:wq!\u00c2\u00a0 will write the file (save it) and quit. :q!\u00c2\u00a0 will exit without saving.<\/p>\n
Adding the line to inittab works something like this:<\/p>\n
vi \/etc\/inittab<\/p>\n
kkkkki::sysinit:\/usr\/sbin\/sshd<RETURN><ESC>:wq!<\/p>\n
3. Change the root user password from blank to something you can remember:<\/p>\n
passwd welc0me<\/p>\n
4. Install Optware:<\/p>\n
wget http:\/\/mybookworld.wikidot.com\/local–files\/optware\/setup-optware.sh<\/p>\n
sh setup-optware.sh<\/p>\n
echo “\/opt\/lib” >>\/etc\/ld.so.conf<\/p>\n
ldconfig<\/p>\n
vi \/root\/.bashrc\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 and add this line:<\/em><\/p>\nexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\/opt\/lib<\/span><\/p>\necho “export PATH=$PATH:\/opt\/bin” >> \/root\/.bashrc<\/p>\n
echo “export PATH=$PATH:\/opt\/bin” >> \/etc\/profile<\/p>\n
\/opt\/bin\/ipkg update<\/p>\n
5a. Install ftpcopy rather than lftp<\/p>\n
\/opt\/bin\/ipkg install ftpcopy<\/p>\n
5b. OR Install lftp instead of ftpcopy<\/p>\n
\/opt\/bin\/ipkg install libiconv<\/p>\n
\/opt\/bin\/ipkg install lftp<\/p>\n
6. Create a backup script<\/p>\n
cd \/root<\/p>\n
Use vi<\/strong> to create a file called backup.sh<\/strong> containing this line<\/em>:<\/p>\nftpcopy -u myuser -p mypasswd -m 30 192.168.1.11 myshare \/shares\/internal\/MYSHARE<\/span><\/p>\nor<\/p>\n
lftp -c ‘open -e “mirror \/myshare\/ \/shares\/internal\/MYSHARE” -d -u myuser,mypasswd 192.168.1.11\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/span><\/p>\n7. Make it run at 4am every sunday morning<\/p>\n
vi \/etc\/crontabs\/root\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 and add these lines:<\/em><\/p>\n# run the backup script at 4am on sunday<\/span><\/p>\n* 4 * * Sun \/root\/backup.sh<\/span><\/p>\n8. Restart the cron daemon<\/p>\n
crond reload<\/p>\n
9. Go make a cuppa and have a good sit down because you’ve just setup your backup.<\/p>\n
10. Work out how to amend the above to provide some logging that you can view using the built-in web-browser on the MyBook without filling up the disk and comment on here before I post how to do it.<\/p>\n
