I don't know of a way to make it put the machine name at the beginning
of each line.
As a partial solution, you could put the machine name into the log file
before the copy:
echo ${machinename} >> $log
cp --preserve . and so on.
I tend to put a lot of date stamps in log files as well as
How can I add the machine name to the output. For instance...
This command writes to the log file that a file is in use and was not
backed up.
cp --preserve --recursive --update "$source"/* $dest 2>> $log
So if I have a variable called $machine and it equals the workstations
name how can I have i
Yup, that should work nicely.
Couple of things you might want to add to it (or you may not, of course
:) - see below

Well, there are so many ways of doing this that it's difficult to know
where to start!
There are two parts to what you want to do: scheduling when the backup
happens and doing the actual backup.
The scheduling is easy - use cron. man crontab will get you started on
that. One thing to be aware of
I use Slackware 7.0 with upgraded 2.4.18 kernel in a box which serves
as file server to 5 win9x clients.
Is there a method to perform incremental back-ups for every user, for
every day of the week.
Eg. /home/peter
/home/paul
/home/mary
to be backed up everyday into day-of-the-week
