Hi. This is what I use to backup my system Manually but you can insert the following commands into a cron-run shell script.
I have a directory under home called backup where all backups are stored. You can use tape or ftp to some other machine. The directories are Tared and can be restored by just un-compressing them when needed. here is what I use beow: cd / tar -cpvz -f /home/backup/etc.tar.gz etc cd / tar -cpvz -f /home/backup/var.tar.gz var cd / tar -cpvz -f /home/backup/root.tar.gz root cd /usr/ tar -cpvz -f /home/backup/usr-admserv.tar.gz admserv cd /usr/ tar -cpvz -f /home/backup/usr-local.tar.gz local cd /home/log/ tar -cpvz -f /home/backup/home-log-httpd.tar.gz httpd cd /home/ tar -cpvz -f /home/backup/home-spool.tar.gz spool cd /home/ tar -cpvz -f /home/backup/sites.tar.gz sites [EMAIL PROTECTED] >===== Original Message From [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===== >My company does not want to pay the license fees for client installs of >the backup software on all our boxes. > >Many of the apps it was noted reside on the nas server and are remotely >mounted.
