I have a machine which runs Linux redhat 9.0 is it possible tar,compress and take a backup of the home directory automatically to any other Linux machine over the network . If so how?
There are a number of ways. You can just run a shell script out of cron to tar up the directory and gzip it. Then you could use passwordless scp to get it to the other machine. or you could NFS mount the backup directory and just have tar write tae tarball directly onto the backup drive, unmounting it afterwards.
thanks for the reply.
Can u please give a sample script and how do i send the tar /zipped file from my 192.168.20.10 machine to 192.168.20.11
Thanks again
