Subject: [SLUG] configuration backup to floppy
Hi all,
Since we're in the scripting mood...Ok, Ok... maybe some. I have created a
script which basically reads a file in a backs each directory and depth
listed in the file.
I am currently using the find and pipe to cpio to /mnt/floppy but would like
to now change this to just the files and in it's directory structue so:
/home/georgev will copy into /mnt/floppy/home/georgev
/etc/sysconfig will copy into /mnt/floppy/etc/sysconfig <- but only it's
file contents unless specified in the file list
Here is my current (badly written) script which is the cpio version if
anybody would like to help me write it as I'm having troubles creating the
copy and the structure....
#!/bin/bash
BASE="\033[36m`/bin/basename $0`\033[00m"
PTH=$PWD
echo -e "$BASE: Attempting to mount floppy disk"
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy -t vfat >/dev/null 2>&1
STATUS=$!
if [ "$STATUS" = "1" ]
then
echo -e "$BASE: Already mounted or mount error $STATUS"
exit 1
else
echo -e "$BASE: Mounted OK"
fi
>/local/bin/confbackup.log
while read EXT DEPTH FILES
do
echo "Backing up $FILES with maximum depth of $DEPTH"
cd $FILES
find . -maxdepth $DEPTH -type f -print | cpio -ocvLB -O
/mnt/floppy/backup.$EXT 2>/local/bin/confbackup.log.$EXT
done < /local/bin/confbackup.files
cd $PTH
echo -e "$BASE: Unmounting Floppy Disk"
umount /mnt/floppy
thanks,
