 |
|
Hi,
I have made a very simple backup script using flexbackup.
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
flexbackup -set all
cd /root/backup
scp * root@serv1:/backup/
|
I use /etc/flexbackup.conf for the backup options. After the backup is completed i scp all the backup files to my backupserver.
The thing is when i have used this script for a week, the backup folder on my server is very messy. Is it possible to make dated dirs with cron or simmilar? So every time i upload new files, they end up in a directory named the same as the date? |

thought about doing something like:
`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M`-rest-of-filename into a tar so that it's all there in one???
Or better yet - why re-re-invent the wheel? I've done it once 
take a look at this script I wrote - might help you out a little:

you could call this script (or even your own, with modifications sourced from mine - ie. the date & tar calls) then scp that single (nicely dated) file to the backup server |
