My First 5 Minutes On A Server; Or, Essential Security for Linux Servers – Server security doesn’t need to be complicated. My security philosophy is simple: adopt principles that will protect you from the most frequent attack vectors, while keeping administration efficient enough that you won’t develop “security cruft”. If you use your first 5 minutes on a server wisely, I believe you can do that.

Thinking of Cody’s thought to playing about with Linux I think it better he masters automated backups first!

 

The programmes I use for this on my SolusOS 1.3 boxes are…

Luckybackup (the latest version gives you an email option too.) luckyBackup 0.4.7 (using Qt4)

sendemail (from the repository) and…

gnome-schedule.

 

First I use Luckybackup to set up a backup policy which can then be tested manually using local USB drives or even to network connected storage.

 

Then press the Cron it button! I normally set my nocturnal backup to 3 o’clock in the morning. (You can also view the text used in the cron job.)

 

Using Gnome Schedule you will be able to see the cron job you have created and edit it.

 

For some reason this will not work but, if you remove the section “skip critical” it should now work on schedule.

 

Setting up the email provision in Luckybackup, the system will even send you a message saying what has happened!

 

All the best to both of you!

Ray
