Start with an ADSL modem. Add a wireless router. Having too many gadgets with Ethernet? Ok, add a switch. Get a Bubba. Get another small fanless server. Get a second wireless router. You now have a big pile of gadgets stacked on top of each other, if you are lucky they don't tumble and fall over. Ai...

Got troubles getting this to work with multiple source directories/modules.. Setup is a WinXp machine with rsync server installed. 4-5 different directories/ rsyncd modules defined, that are to be backed up to the bubba. Guess you could do a loop in a backup script on the bubba, calling rsync indivi...

Right.
So as long as Excito puts in new patches, security fixes etc reasonably often and people press their update button, things should be fine.
I'd expect that most small patches/fixes don't require user interaction when installing, but besides that you're right about your comment.

Related question though:

When I press update in the web GUI, what is updated?
The GUI itself?
Configuration changes?
App updates?
Security fixes?
...?

tor, You guys do a truly great job - don't get me wrong. And I agree, mirroring the entire repositories is a pretty big task to take on.. You're probably also right about Windows machines being more likely targets. The background for my question was just to make sure I understood things correctly wi...

First, I just love the Bubba, great little gadget. A slight concern though.. If I understand things correctly, the central Debian repositories are turned off by default, in order to give Excito a controlled way of maintaining the Bubba's unique environment. (?) But doesn't that also mean that Bubba ...

that works between from a Linux machine such as Bubba to any other network attached storage. http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc BackupPC looks like a good system, but is it small/lean enough to run on the Bubba? It is described as "a high-performance, enterprise-grade system for backing ...

Having trouble getting my Bubba to work as email server for a domain (let's call it abc123.se) I have my MX records etc hosted at one ISP (Space2u), seems to be working ok. Internet connection is from another ISP (Glocalnet). Have opened TCP port 25 in my firewall to allow for SMTP traffic. The serv...

I noted the following link the other day:

Haven't tried it on the Bubba yet, so no guarantees given.

/MD

And I can confirm that the short instructions at http://excito.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=132 worked like a charm...

But you do need to edit the Debian source files, like tor mentions.

Good point about the size of the email. If the idea is to send an SMS to your phone with a backup status report you may want to make it shorter...

Hey Mange, awesome post - many thanks. Worked great except that non-English characters in file names aren't transferred correctly, but I guess that's part of Bubbas localization. Maybe it's possible to install enhanced character set support.. Still have some work to do finetuning security and access...

I am looking at syncing directories of files on my PC with my Bubba. The idea is to keep an identical copy of the PC's directory structure on the Bubba. I want the Bubba to initiate the sync, and have been looking at rsync and Samba for solving this. With Samba, I would use a Samba client (smbclient...
