Re: [WISPA] MT backup system, need script clues
I have a perl script which logs in, creates a backup, then FTP's in and transfers the backup to an offsite location. It uses telnet now, but could use ssh if you wanted. It actually cycles through a list of IP addresses and does it for each one. It won't remove all the old files, but it just rewrites the same one every few days. And it creates exports, not backups. Of course this could all be modified, by altering/adding the MT script commands within the script. Let me know if you are interested.

Re: [WISPA] MT backup system, need script clues
sftp/ssh.

Re: [WISPA] MT backup system, need script clues
Copy away. I prefer a human readable backup, which is why I use the export instead of the backup command. Quite often what fails is an rb532 or other random variety board, and we are apt to replace it with a 433AH. It would be less common to replace something with an identical hardware unfortunately. When things are broken are sometimes an opportune time to upgrade things or do things better. On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 10:50:53AM -0500, David E.

Re: [WISPA] MT backup system, need script clues
Even on the same hardware I see more screw ups with the binary backup then what I want to see. Going from the exact same model to a replaced board with the binary backup should be flawless, still, it isn't.

Agreed...that is why I use export. Then I can modify the script and strip out macs, etc. Just my prefered method.

Re: [WISPA] New ZBot variant for Outlook
I agree. And we would still see a drastic fall in spam/exploits/malware The FF team does a better job of patching for stuff then MFST does. Im not saying they are perfect by any means, just better. The add-ons for FF that make life so much better, like NoScript, Flash Block, Ad-Block and AdBlockFilterGSet make FF pretty tight. The primary issue with OE/OL/IE is that for the longest time they automatically ran VBScript embedded in email. Now the major issues are known holes that are months old and end users.
