> What does the all-knowing UUG use for simple, easy home backups?
This may not work for you, since you are wanting to back up so much, but
if you are interested in hearing, this is how I do backups for now.
I like backing up to a remote location, so I have a script that performs
the following steps:
1. Copy all the directories I am interested in to a location under
/backups.
2. zip up the /backups directory
3. aes encrypt the zip file
4. copy to a remote machine using ssh.
I added step 3 because I didn't want administrator of this other local
machine to go perusing through my personal files.
Here is what my remove backup script looks like, that corresponds to
steps 2-4:
#!/bin/bash
BACKUP_PATH=/backups
TAR=/bin/tar
SSH=/usr/bin/ssh
AES=/usr/local/bin/aespipe
(echo my_constant_password_is_here ; $TAR -zcpf - $BACKUP_PATH) 2>
/dev/null | $AES -p 0 -C 100 | $SSH [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"(umask 077;cat > sshock_backups.tgz.aes)"
Before too long, my data is going to grow too large, and this isn't
going to work anymore, but take it for what it's worth.
