I actually have two backup methods. The first does a daily local backup (rotated weekly) of asturw (which includes /mnt/kd in my case) to a separate internal drive so I can revert back in the event I break something, as well as having a local copy in case of a primary drive failure, data loss or corruption, etc.
I also do a remote/offsite backup via rsync every 15 minutes (I know, probably a bit overkill, but why not?). Both are handled on the PBX from crontab: 0 4 * * * tar -cvf /mnt/opt/backup/backup.asturw.`date +%a`.tar -C /oldroot/mnt/asturw etc mnt stat usr 0,15,30,45 * * * * rsync --log-file=/var/log/rsync.log -aczv /oldroot/mnt/asturw rsyncer@backup:/home/rsyncer/pbxbackup/ 2>&1 > /dev/null So I can go back in time up to a week: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 975690240 Aug 21 04:02 backup.asturw.Fri.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 975112704 Aug 24 04:02 backup.asturw.Mon.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 976172032 Aug 22 04:02 backup.asturw.Sat.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 974568448 Aug 23 04:02 backup.asturw.Sun.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 975181824 Aug 20 04:02 backup.asturw.Thu.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 975925248 Aug 25 04:02 backup.asturw.Tue.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 976478208 Aug 26 04:02 backup.asturw.Wed.tar Or I can pull from the offsite repository in the event I have a bigger issue. The daily psuedo-incremental backup has actually saved me on a couple occasions. --James On Tue, Aug 25, 2015 at 11:12 AM, Ionel Chila <ionelch...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Does anyone have an automated way to backup an Astlinux box?
