gnu tar does incremental backups. use -g (and -M for multiple tapes).

I used mondoarchive to do a complete backup to cd of my system. Seemed
to work

hi ya keith
when i work on a backup system
- i assume your primary machine yu are backing up lost its disks
- i assume the backup disk can also lose its disk...
- disk failures etc is easy to simulate...
- just pull the cable off the disk... and see the panic
and can

Are you not concerned that your disk controller will go wacky, fubarring
both drives?

I assume you mean some SCSI tape drives as that cheap. If it is so
cheap, I should think about it when 640MB became no

20Gb disks are about $100 now... and can hold 2-3 months
of daily/weekly incremental backups before you have to

hi ha morgan...
i think the first tar creates ROOT$date.tar.gz...

unless /home is a link to go somewhere else the

It's a hack. Do not expect to solve everything.
If you need incremental use -N option or something. (Read info tar)

Actually, tar (GNU tar at least) is smart enough

coolthat your script goes to cdr ...

hi jeroen
backups...
i prefer find and tar
eg...
find /root /etc /home -mtime -$Days -type f -print |
egrep -v "$EXCLUDE_this_stuff" |
tar zcvf /Backup.Sunday/$HOST/$Year_$Mon/$Date_$Days.tgz -T -
use find to find files that has changed "today"
or last 7 days or last
You mentioned a Windoze-PC, sh I'd suggest you make a separate partition on
that one and do a "tar zcvf" to that partition. RAR for Linux might be an
option as well...
It's faster than using a CD-RW and, for once, you'll make proper use of your
windoze-machine ;-)
