Created a quick powershell to backup a server disk to disk as follows:

It's worth enabling SSH in nearly every case for normal day to day remote access. This is mainly due to the inherently insecure nature of its little brother - TELNET, which is completely un-encrypted and therefore sniffable on any network.

Here's how:

R2(config)#ip domain name cisco.com
R2(config)#crypto key generate rsa
The name for the keys will be: R2.cisco.com
Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 2048 for your
General Purpose Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take
a few minutes.

Troubleshooting is merely the methodical application of common sense and technical knowledge to the inevitable problems that crop up in a fallen world. If common sense can be codified (and perhaps it can with AI) then it starts with answers to simple questions like: Why? How? What?

I myself use this low-level-we-need-the-command-line-for-this method:

Take a look here .... the backup tool they discuss there is called "hubackup" and you can install it via "Synaptic":

HP Proliant DL380 G3, HP diagnostic/configuration tools Well.. I was surfing around trying to figure out an easy way to configure and diagnose the SCSI Smart Array 5i Plus that came with my server. It turns out HP does include some software for Debian which might be useful for us. For the sake of making these files public so that more people (who are much better at this than myself) can use and try these files out, here is a list of what I have found. Please if you find any use of these files, post up some information for others.

Useful Samba Networking Commands

There are several useful commands available to the Samba network admin.

When it comes to networking, there are two important points of view... what the server sees and what the client sees. Windows networking relies on extensive (and complex) caching on each client. Sometimes a wait of 5-15 minutes will solve network 'issues' on a client. Other times the server is responsible. You must look in both places to determine the source(s) of your problem(s).

Login as root on the PDC (Primary Domain Controller).

I have just today upgraded the site to version 6 !
This is a very significant upgrade, and some care was needed to avoid issues as I moved forward...

But the benefits are many, and I now look forward to playing with the theming modules (for developers) and so on...
