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. -- Best Wishes, PAIX-UANIC | SK3929-RIPE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ flexbackup-help mailing list flexbackup-help@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flexbackup-help
