Re: [flexbackup-help] problem with crontab

Gabriel, I have the same problem. I asked for help on this list multiple
times. No one responded. What you posted doesn't really show very much,
but what I have here, is that on occasion, the job doesn't complete and I
have to manually kill the bzip2 processed. This is what's on my machine
right now:
I'm too lazy to switch to something else, so every so often I just kill
the bzip processes.
IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO ADD THEIR TWO CENTS IT WOULD BE WELCOME. :-(
Hi guys! I'm also using flexbackup on multiple servers! Is seems very
fine, especially I like differential backups.
But I not use bzip compression, just a simple tar.
$type = 'tar';
There are no issues with it.
Also you could try to switch to tar type of backups, and then do a gzip
by other script.
Some example of script backuping my sql databases:
echo Compressing backups...
for i in `ls ${backupsdir}/*.sql`; do
cd ${backupsdir} nice -n 19 tar -czv --remove-files
-f ${i}.tar.gz `basename ${i}`
done
# cleaning up old data
find $backupsdir -name $host* -a -mtime +$savedays -delete
Also keep in mind that if you have a very lage tar backup bzip will
compress it a very long type too.
So I don't use compression for this reasons. I just need fast and simple
backups.
