Hi Jeff, > If you use rsync, it's even worse; you probably don't have unifected > files.
Hardisks are cheap, so a couple of lines of shell script on the backup server can make sure that you have several complete copies of the backup. Here is what I do: For backup of sites, users, MySQL an DNS I still use RaQbackup.sh, which ftp's the data to the backup server on a daily basis. Additionally I Rsync data on a daily basis from all my developement servers to the backup server. On the backup server I daily run a script from a cronjob which copies the entire backup directory to another partition on another hardisk: #!/bin/bash rm -Rf /data/devel.bak2 mv /data/devel.bak /data/devel.bak2 mkdir /data/devel.bak cp -R /backup/devel/ /data/devel.bak/ So in essence I then have three days worth of complete backups: /backup/devel/ (complete backup from today) /data/devel.bak/ (complete from yesterday) /data/devel.bak2/ (complete from day before yesterday) -- With best regards, Michael Stauber _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
