setup automatic backup of virtual image

[gobbedy]

1. get rdiff working
   continue testing -- randomly modify .sav file -- dump that as newfile -- then test that rdiff properly recovers -- use dd for recovery? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24130538/testing-intentionally-corrupt-a-z-file-using-dd

2. globus catch errors in login (maybe just e-mail me via mutt), globusconnect connection (e-mail me), expand script to back up + script sent by the support guy

[gobbedy]

1. run easeus to local backup on a daily schedule -- DONE
   --> setup linux to shut down at that time -- DONE
2. run globus sync in linux (on bootup?)

[gobbedy]

1. get rid of shutdown cron
2. test windows cron ("schedules task") -- make sure to sync easeus and windows scheduler times
3. run globus sync in linux (on bootup?)

[gobbedy]

1. get rid of shutdown cron-- DONE
2. get rid of easeus -- uninstall -- DONE
3. install vmware + linux mint 18.3 w/ shared folder access -- DONE
4. use 7z for compression
5. use rdiff for differential backup
6. use globus (sync?) for transfer

[gobbedy]

1. test script on both sides (linux, windows) -- with cron included -- DONE
2. backup linux mint 18 (one time)

[gobbedy]

0. backup linux mint 18 (one time) -- DONE (would be trivial to make automatic; only windows-side script to tweak)
1. Test that it works at 8.15pm as expected
2. After a week or so, test recovery

[gobbedy]

Gave up on fully automatic backup -- too time consuming. Semi-automatic instead

Flow for backing up linux mint 17 (vmbox guest) is:

1. Shut down vmbox guest
2. Launch vmware guest
3. Launch backup and globus submit script (takes an hour)
4. (When 3 finished) Shut down vmware guest
5. Launch vmbox guest
6. Launch mout_compute_canada.sh script

Switch vmbox and vmware in steps above if backing up linux mint 18 (vmware guest)
