Back Up Suse-System but how do i make it?
I use daily Windows MS. Now I want to change on Suse-Linux.
I have already installed the version 10. I have also installed all updates. Everything functions excellently. How can I do a protection of the system on DVD-Disk? Do reach in addition the Boardtools? Thanks for help! marek |
One normally performs a backup using the tar utility. Regular backups run tar from cron. Basically you just archive the content of the /home directory (and any others you want to save).
tar zcvf /dev/dvd /home to perform an incremental backup, one uses find to locate the files to backup: i.e. incremental backup every 24 hours: tar zcvf /dev/dvd `find /home -mtime -1 -type f -print` You can run this command each 24hours automatically in crontab. Restore the backup as follows: tar zxvf /dev/dvd / (all this assumes /dev/dvd exists and points to your dvd device) Of course, one could use the -g option to create/list/extract new gnu format incremental backups. More information, see the tar manpage. |
Note: you can also use rsync - but that is more for network backups.
