I use the method from http://www.sanitarium.net/golug/rsync_backups.html for incremental backups. Don't forget to mount your rootfs to a second place because of all the mounts that might hide parts of it. Works like a charm with this script which must be run as root in order to preserve user ids: #!/bin/bash PREVIOUS=`readlink current` NEW=`date --iso-8601=sec` OPTIONS="-PavH --numeric-ids --delete" echo "new backup tag is $NEW" if [ ! "$PREVIOUS" ]; then echo "previous backup not found, starting fresh" else echo "making incremental backup based on $PREVIOUS" cp -al "$PREVIOUS" "$NEW" fi if ! ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "mkdir /tmp/backup-mnt ; mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /tmp/backup-mnt"; then echo "Could not mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /tmp/backup-mnt" exit 1 fi echo rsync $OPTIONS [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/backup-mnt/ "./$NEW" if rsync $OPTIONS [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/backup-mnt/ "./$NEW"; then ln -snf $NEW current fi ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "umount /tmp/backup-mnt && rmdir /tmp/backup-mnt" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG6P2t9ZPu6Yae8lkRAm40AJ9qcyGPIIh8yNIBHHm3BnazBu6sQwCeOFTf XOyKuTqq/lCCm5Y1B+owNlY= =FG2H -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
