I use such a script - it retrieves the last full backup from BackupPC archive, and makes tar.gz packages out of it. When the packages are done, you can write them to tape. For some more info, I placed the script here: http://wpkg.org/index.php/BackupPC_-_restoring_backups_from_command_line #!/bin/bash # Script for restoring hosts (last full backup) from command line. # The restored backups can be found in $RESTOREDIR (defined below), # and are to be written on tape. BACKUPPCDIR=/srv/backuppc-data HOSTSDIR=$BACKUPPCDIR/pc RESTOREDIR=$HOSTSDIR/restore/restore # put the hosts/directories you don't want to restore into egrep... HOSTS=$(ls $HOSTSDIR | egrep -v '(HOST_CONFIG_FILES|restore)' | tr / " ") # or use: # HOSTS="HOST1 HOST2 REMOTE3" # just a spacer... ' # no need to change anything below... DATE=$(date +%F) mkdir -p $RESTOREDIR/$DATE for HOST in $HOSTS do # find the last full backup NUMBER=$(grep full $HOSTSDIR/$HOST/backups| tail -1 | cut -f1) if [ "$NUMBER" ] then # do the backup for the host $BACKUPPCDIR/bin/BackupPC_archiveHost $BACKUPPCDIR/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate /usr/bin/split /usr/bin/par2 \ "$HOST" "$NUMBER" /usr/bin/gzip .gz 0000000 $RESTOREDIR/$DATE 0 \* fi done -- Tomasz Chmielewski ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
