hi ya jorge
simple backup examples with tar
tar zcvf /tmp/backup.tgz `find /root /boot /etc /bin /sbin /usr
/home -mtime -90 -print `
than add date code to the backup file names ??
than make it run from cron and do incremental backups vs full vs
weekly/monthly backups
backup.sh -daily
backup.sh -weekly
backup.sh -monthly
backup.sh -full
example backup scripts to tape, disks, cds
