Re: Linux Backup Script
This is what I use to backup my RH server:
DESTDIR="/u/backups/mail"
DESTSERVER="dev1"
LIST="/usr/local/bin/backup.list"
DOW=`date +\%a`
echo "Start: `date`"
tar -czf - --files-from $LIST|ssh $DESTSERVER "cat > ${DESTDIR}/mail_${DOW}.ztar"
echo "End: `date`"
DESTDIR is where it's located on the 'other' server
DESTSERVER is the 'other' server
LIST is a a flat text file of what to backup
Files are compressed in tar format. |
