The easiest way is to set a cron job like the one below. The '0' at the end means to do an incremental backup, a '1' would mean to do a full backup. This will force the job to go off at a particular time. You will also want to set a job to do a full backup occasionally, to do a more thorough check of the files being backed up against the copies in your backup pool. # mysql-2 is set to dump its database at 8:15pm (20:15) # let's do a backup right after that. 20 20 * * * backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup mysql-2.example.com mysql-2.example.com backuppc 0 -- Carl Soderstrom Real Time Enterprises 952-943-8700 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
