Hello guys, I was trying to create some sort of a backup policy at work (after the havoc i wrecked with my last command). Anyway, what i was thinking of was to create daily incremental backups, and weekly full backups, and burn them on DVDs. Now i was reading about this, and the command "dump" was mentioned heavily, so i tried using it, but checking the man pages shows it only works on ext2/ext3 file systems. I have reiserfs.
I wrote a cron that uses tar cvzf daily, and mkisofs -J -r -T -o weekly. I have no idea how to make the incremental backup work. So, my question would be: 1) Is the strategy good enough? we don't have anything critical or time-sensitive. We just need to have the files in case things go wrong. 2) What command can i use to accomplish this? 3) Is incremental or differential backup better to use? -- Al-Faisal El-Dajani P.O Box: 140056 11814 Amman, Jordan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jolug" group.
