I use cron to do a periodic full backup to an external USB drive that I've named "mirror". The script used is:
find / -print | egrep -v "^/media/mirror|^/proc" | cpio -pdmuv /media/mirror/"$1" 2>&1 | cat -vt Since installing Etch, this script has not worked well because it does not like to backup the /sys directory. Actually, backing up /sys dangerous). So I'd like to modify the script to block cpio from doing /sys as it avoids /proc, but not sure how. Help would be appreciated. -- Haines Brown, KB1GRM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
