You have to mount your external drive first. You mount to a specified directory. Something like /mybackupdrive

[code]sudo mkdir /mybackupdrive
mount [device/path/to/externaldrive] /mybackupdrive
./FOGBackup.sh /mybackupdrive[/code]

[quote=“Wayne Workman, post: 45718, member: 28155”]If you’re running FOG on a Linux server build, it’s likely that the external drive is not automatically mounted.

Is the Ubuntu 14 a workstation/client install or the server install?

Can you access the external drive at all? If not, you’ll have to mount it…[/quote]

It is a workstation/client install and yes i can access the external drive.

Wayne Workman

Yeah then just use the code that Tom posted for script usage.

navigate to the directory for the backup script.
type:
[CODE]./FOGBackup.sh /mybackupdrive[/CODE]

[FONT=Consolas]So, if my external drive was mounted as “USB3_2TB” it would be something like this:[/FONT]

[FONT=Consolas][CODE]./FOGBackup.sh /USB3_2TB[/CODE][/FONT]

what’s the command to show me the name of that external drive in the command line? Bare with me i’m new to this.

Tom Elliott

My guess is you’re using a desktop variation of Ubuntu? Can you give us an output of [code]ls -l /{media,mnt}[/code]

Wayne Workman

That doesn’t sound right…

When I followed the steps on this site

I’m getting an error "“Checking package apache2… failed!”

Try installing that manually.
[CODE]sudo apt-get install apache2[/CODE]

Then check the status of the install:
[CODE]service apache2 status[/CODE]

Post the output of these two commands, please.

I think I might have figured it out, it was a web filter that was blocking it

When I typed in "[url]http://IP[/url] address/fog/management I’m getting Database Schema Installer/Updater, should I update it?

Absolutely. [U]That’s part of the installation[/U]. Without it, stuff won’t work.

fredlwal

Now, that part is working, I just copied over 1 image from the exteral hard drive onto the server into the images folder , what steps do I need to take in order for the new server to see the image ? Also what do I need to do in so that the clients can boot on the network and pickup an ip address?

Wayne Workman

The easiest way is to do the “Configuration Save” under “FOG Settings”

It exports every single thing inside the DB.

Then, take that file and import it into your new FOG server.

And, one thing at a time…
To test if network booting works, just try to network boot a computer. simple. After you try that and see what happens, we’ll go from there. Hopefully all is well.

fredlwal

Well, the old server is dead, I only have the images copied over to the external hd. Is there anytning else I can try?

Wayne Workman

There’s a good thread on that: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/transfer-images-from-0-32-to-fresh-1-2-0-1-2-0-cant-see-images.11671/#post-36719[/url]

Basically, you just need to re-make them inside the Web-GUI, and the case and spacing and punctuation and all that jazz must EXACTLY match what the image paths are.

fredlwal

I did the check box but where to go next?
