hi y jams...
tape backup sw...
"find | gre | tar " works best for me...
( going to tape or disks )
- tons of free backup scripts and few more commercial apps
which you use depends n your budget and
amount of data and backup media you use
and comfoprt level of find|tar and/or cpio, dump, etc
- most of what needs to be done for backups can be done in 1 lines or so
( 3-4 crontab entries ... )
# daily incremental of last 8 days
find /$DIRS -mtime -8 | tar cvf /dev/tape -T-
# weekly incremental of last 32 days
find /$DIRS -mtime -32 | tar cvf /dev/tape -T-
# montly incremental of last 90 days..
find /$DIRS -mtime -90 | tar cvf /dev/tape -T-
# do a full backup however often ya like..
tar cvf /dev/tape /$DIRS
-- done --
- make n-copies of it if ya paranoid -
- encrypt it if ya even mroe paranoid -
- ... on and on ..
c ya
