Ok, I am thinking on renting a server from host provider the planet. They are going to give me 2 500 gig drives. At first I never saw the need for a secondary drive because I really am not sure how to navigate with a linux OS on a server. I have used Cpanel and know it well which I will be getting. So, I realized I can use the secondary drive as a backup of my database and www directory. Or entire root directory for that matter. Ok, now my question...Is there anything in cpanel I can click, or a command I can use to make sure that my mysql database and my directory is backed up to the other drive? It will be a dedicated box with root access.
I know I am better off asking someone on a tech forum. But im at work and all that is blocked. its more of a general question because it will be a bit before I get the server anyway. Ivtv ( talk) 00:03, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
well that is good news. yeah, I dabbled with Knoppix and Ubuntu back a few times so I have an idea on how linux works but forgot about the mounting jazz. Ill have to ask for a raid 1 configuration then if it is not default which now i am assuming it is. I would like some type of offline backup somewhere tho. For example, if users on my site decide to destroy a table or something I would not want the destroyed data to be mirrored on drive 2. I would want to go to drive 2 to get the data. you have given me some answers and I am thankful for that. Going to be awhile till i get the hardware. Thanks! Ivtv ( talk) 01:18, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
My son tossed my phone in the pool so I now have a smart phone. I like having email on the go, but 99% of my non-spam email is a request to fix a problem on a server. I need SSH for that. I've been searching (I even called Verizon support), but I cannot find an SSH app for cell phones. Does one exist? If I can find one, I can probably get from there to one that I can force to install and run on my phone. -- kainaw ™ 00:39, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
What would be the best way to protect a .doc or .odt file from other people viewing it even if they get a hold of it? I know that Word and Open Office both have password services, but how secure are these methods? Nkot ( talk) 03:53, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Their methods are usually as secure as your password. You can also use programs like winrar or winzip to compress the file and add a password to it as well. I have never dabbled with open office or word password crackers but you can get around winrar ones if your password is something simple like a dictionary word. But a password like "hE$8*9_+=!!~389jHU**&@#$" needs more computing power to crack then something like the password "JamaCa1". You can also get thumb drives that have passwords on them as well. So, technically you could go with a password for the file, password for the .rar or .zip and a password for the drive it is being stored on. Just do not forget these passwords and make them secure and at least 10 alpha/character/numeric strings Ivtv ( talk) 04:40, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Is there a way to REMOVE all the custom animations(from all the slides) at once in MS powerpoint 2003? Shraktu ( talk) 05:12, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
I've noticed this at home with both DSL and Cable modem, and a couple times at work (Fiber Optic). But sometimes it's like the entire net is dead. The throughput meters on my computer show 0Kb/s. Even when I have several webpages trying to load. And then all of a sudden (usually 30 seconds or more of no traffic), everything downloads at full speed. The fact that it has happened on different types of connections at different locations makes me think it's something more than just my computer. -- 68.102.170.184 ( talk) 13:48, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

How likely do you think it is that a small computer which makes a computer case made of water-proofed sisal woven over a frame, will be adopted by major computer companies like Dell and HP? N.B. sisal would save energy by allowing heat to escape. (Cross-posted to science board) -- Patar knight - chat/ contributions 17:42, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Try stop creating the heat in the first place :)

If you have a question that covers more than one desk can you redirect to just one of them - like this:

I don't know what the part is called, but it's the port on the cellular phone into which you plug the non-transformer end of the charging cable into. It looks gold-plated to this ignorant user, but it's also been eroded, so much so that I'm have real problems recharging the phone. The charging cable is not at fault because other phones have no trouble with it. How much will a repair like this cost? 98.14.223.143 ( talk) 20:15, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi guys,
Look: I'm having some more trouble with existence+. I saw my friend the other day and he was hurt pretty bad. He was all bloody.
Anyway, I don't want to "destroy" anything. I want to represent what the FUCK I want to show to the user and let HIM show me whatever.
