Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Astlinux automated backup
Yes, I actually have two different automated backup processes.
First, I do an rsync every hour to a remote server for disaster
recovery.
I also have this in my crontab:
0 4 * * * tar -cvf /mnt/opt/backup/backup.asturw.`date +%a`.tar -C
/oldroot/mnt/asturw etc mnt stat usr
Which backs up the various directories in asturw everynight at 4AM
to an external drive. I have one backup per day of the week. This
way, if I need to undo something I did recently, I can go back up to
a week to restore a prior version from a particular day. And if the
entire box gets fried, I can restore from the remote backup.
Fortunately, I've never had to use the off-site backup, but I have
used the local backup on more than one occasion.

Anyone running any automated script(s) to backup their Astlinux boxes? Maybe
backing it up to a remote share of ftp server?
