Hi All, The core of my backups is the use of tar and USB memory sticks, tied together with a shell script.
The script takes parameters that either specify individual tar files to be created (stuff, extra etc) or the complete set of tar files (all). Before it creates a tar file, it appends info about which PC did the backup and what time to a log file. This was useful so when I was working with the backups on other computers I would know how up to date the data files were. I'm not a bash expert (yet) but would it be of interest to you? It has been in use, with updates, since 2012.
