This page records some configuration changes to the research computing infrastructure that, for a variety of reasons, don't belong on the public pages.
== Automatic Backup for Mother ==
=== Useful links ===
Background info:
* I haven't installed the [[Power Backup]] software yet, that's separate.
* The old [[Server Backup Policy]] page for basic info on the toaster. Note that it supports up to 4Tb drives, apparently...
* The old [[McNair_Center_IT#Server_Backup_Policy]] page section has info on backing up web/dbase servers.
=== Mounting the toaster ===
Mount the drive, which should be formatted with NTFS:
# lsblk shows sdf has two partitions and sdf2 is likely our girl.
# There are several pre-existing directories in /mount, including backup and USB
# mount -t ntfs /dev/sdf2 /media/backup
# If the first time, mkdir /media/backup/mother
# To unmount, umount /media/backup
=== The CRON job ===
