Kodak is a well known name. Kodak has great products.
There are many lessons in Kodak’s failed today.

From time to time, I would need to transfer large amount of files using FTP. I doesn’t like to do it manually.
And always let the scheduler/cron handle the file transfer automatically.
This is the batch script for Windows platform.
@echo off
set HOST=
set FTPUSER=
set FTPPASSWORD=
set /p FOLDER=[Enter Folder Name]
mkdir %LOCALDIR%\%FOLDER%
cd %LOCALDIR%\%FOLDER%
echo.
set /p SOURCE=[Enter Source Path]
echo user %FTPUSER% > autoftp.dat
echo %FTPPASSWORD% >> autoftp.dat
echo bin >> autoftp.dat
echo prompt off >> autoftp.dat
echo cd %SOURCE% >> autoftp.dat
echo mget * >> autoftp.dat
echo quit >> autoftp.dat
ftp -n -s:autoftp.dat %HOST%
del autoftp.dat

As I’m running hanneng.sg on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. The WordPress is running quite stable. The next thing on my mind is about backup.
Amazon Cloud is offering 10GB of Elastic Block Storage (EBS) plus 1 million I/Os for free. So, I’m thinking of just utilizing the free capacity.
I don’t plan to back up WordPress script, theme, plugins and images inside the Amazon EC2, because I could re-install WordPress easily. I also have local copy of these images too, there are mostly store in Flick or ImageShark.
To me, the most important is the data stored in the MySQL database. In this post, I’m going to show you how to set up a simple shell script to generate a daily MySQL dump and a simple script to upload the backup to Amazon S3 Storage Service.
Now, uses mysqldump command to do the initial full backup
# Begin the backup process
rm -f $BACKUPDIR/sqldump.sql
mysqldump -u Username -pPassword -A >$BACKUPDIR/sqldump.sql
rm -f $BACKUPDIR/sqldump.tgz
tar -czvf $BACKUPDIR/sqldump.tgz $BACKUPDIR/sqldump.sql

I found a solution for this well known bug. Download the patch to fix VMware Workstation 7.1.5 on Linux Kernel 3.1.1
If you’re using VMware workstation 7.1.5, following this steps to modify the script.
vi the script patch-modules_2.6.39.sh and change the vmreqver variable to 7.1.5
fpatch=vmware2.6.39fixedv3.patch
vmreqver=7.1.5
plreqver=3.1.4
Once you have edit this patch file, and launch the sh script:
./patch-modules_2.6.39.sh
After the patch executed OK, you should be able to start VMware Workstation 7.1.5.
