I've recently started to look into backup options for my windows boxes, but am having a difficult time to find quite what i'm looking for. So i thought it'd be best to ask the professionals:
I want to be able to have a USB drive plugged into my laptop at night, with the software making a full image copy of my internal hdd at a predefined time, so that if i suffer catastrophic failure in the laptop i can just swap the hdds and keep on rolling.
Is this even possible?
I have access to a server via standard ssh, logging in password-less via a key.
On that remote server i can access another server, which has svn on a non-default port, like 174.53.45.6:3456.
I'd like to be able to connect to that svn from my own local machine without having to manually start a putty tunnel process every time.
Is there a way to do this?
I'm mainly a Perl programmer and as such entirely clueless about linux administration and politics, but i figure people here would be able to help me on this one. I'm working on a website that is being run on a CentOS 5.4 server, which seems to be stuck on Perl 5.8.8.
I know there are several guides and such out there on how to install it manually, but I'm wondering: Can i expect whoever maintains CentOS (I really have no clue about the sysadmin side.) to ever officially make Perl 5.10 (or higher) available for 5.4? If so, when?
