I have finally rebuilt world and compiled a new kernel since I didn't have USB support and SCSI/da support in my previous kernel. I have also used your suggestion and created this script that I can run from command line or as a cronjob: #!/bin/sh MOUNT=/external DATE=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M` mount /dev/da0 $MOUNT #Change device name find $MOUNT -mtime +30 -delete mkdir $MOUNT/$DATE rsync -rlpgoD /backup/ $MOUNT/$DATE umount /external dmesg shows: umass0: Generic USB Storage Device, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 2 umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (TIMEOUT) da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: SAMSUNG HD501LJ 0-10 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 1.000MB/s transfers da0: 476940MB (976773168 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 60801C) When I try to run my script I get this prompt back: mount: /dev/da0 on /external: incorrect super block (allthough the script seems to continue to run).

Am I doing something wrong here or do I need to I need to use one of the other from /dev: You want to use /dev/da0s1d - the main partition on slice 1 on the drive. Sorry, I dont remember the explanation as to why you must use da0s1d instead of da0s1c, but it goes something along the lines of c partition being a shorthand notation for the entire slice, whereas letter d marks the first partition on the slice. Maybe someone here can clarify this? Hope this helps.

Need help with backup shell script
Hi, I'm working on a shell script that will let me attach (mount) an external USB 2.0 harddrive and to my FreeBSD 6.2 server and perform a full backup of /backup on my server (all files and subfolders) once or twice a week (whenever I run the cronjob). The script must be able to run through a cronjob and the drive must be mounted and unmounted after each job (I will swap between two drives of the same type and size). The script must also remove folders/files older than 30 days. Does anyone use a script like this today that they can share? I'm not a shell scripter myself so any help is highly appreciated. Here's my rough idea/sketch: #! /bin/sh $MOUNT = /external $DATE= date_today mount usb_drive $MOUNT cd /$MOUNT rm all files forlders older than 30 days mkdir /$DATE cp -fr /backup to /$MOUNT/$DATE cd unmount Thanks for your help!

My current scripts are appended; constructive criticism is
welcome.
And the key to = 30 days would involve find.
