rsync & Python

I just finally got around to using rsync to backup my laptop to my home server :)

It's really good, I'd recommend it to anybody for a good backup solution. I've backed up my entire home folder to it (but not onto the samba share ;) ) I thought about that one!!

I'm now looking for another mini project, SVN was considered, but I guess it's a little overkill. Still, I need something to do!


On another note, st33med from the UbuntuForums and Beginners Team held a python tutoring session today on ##beginners-classroom (on irc.freenode.net) And it went on for a whole 3 hours!! It was originally planned to be half an hour ;) I believe the logs are currently being sorted out. I have to say I enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to further tutoring sessions held by members of the Ubuntu Community.
:D Congrats to st33med

  1. Pssst. I hear Bazaar is good. I also hear that all the cool kids are using it these days… ;)

  2. Yep, bazaar is good for this kind of thing. You can have a ‘dumb’ server using, e.g. sftp. Also take a look at the bzr-upload plugin.

  3. PS.: I use launchpad to keep my dotfiles versioned on launchpad:

  4. I like how well bazaar is integrated into launchpad. I’ve started a couple small projects, and you can even have launchpad host bzr branches without a project by pushing it to your +junk section.
