Hi,
I am trying to setup a basic backup script for a Debian 6.0.5 server and
am wanting to validate the scripts I have so far.
Here is the scenario...
The server has 2 x 1Tb hard drives in RAID 1 config. A third 1Tb hard
drive is used for scheduled rsync snapshots.
I also have 5 x USB 3.0

Ok, first: Why it doesn't work I simply don't know.
You should test if this is a problem with find, or the egrep command,
cpio or cat by making verbose output into a own log file.
But maybe you should not use this (in my opinion) unusual command "find
/ -print ...". Instead use tar, like:

It also doesn't protect you against the computer being struck

additionally does some error handling and mail notification. I use
amanda for my daily and weekly backups, but to feel more secure, I
installed a second harddrive in my server today. Now I'm looking for a

hi ya alan
one day... i'll go play with --backup option to rsync
- another to add to the todo list
from when i was using rsync, i think the default is NOT
to do a delete ... that if its deleted from the master,
that the rsync target does NOT delete it too
rsync --delete will del

hi ya du
- when making backups... you'd probably want month/date as part of
your backups ( assuming bash backup script )
date '+%Y%m%d' --> 20021019
date '+%Y.%m.%d'--> 2002.10.19
- for tar stuff
-mtime -7

i am brewing up a backup script, but i am running into an error which
has me baffled.
i try to run the script and get a syntax error which look something like
this:
syntax error near unexpected token 'elif'
this is the line in question:
elif [ ! -f "/backup/current/*fu
-ne 0 ]; then
printf "Backup failed for disk ${DISK}. Try again or type 'skip' to
\n"
printf "skip to the next disk.\n"
read ANSWER
if [ "${ANSWER}" = "skip" ]; then
break
