Hi,
I would like to share the following backup script being used by me.
Works Fine. Just in case some one needs it.
My /home is 40 GB abd tar.gz file comes to 20 GB and takes about 1
hour 10 mins to create.
My question is - Is there faster way to take the backup?
I use mirrordir. Once the first run is complete , it only takes a few
seconds to update the changes.
