Hi all
i have a tool that do backup and send it to folder==> /var/www/html/backup

but this will do the backup on the drice od the OS and sometimes the backup let the hdd os full ,
also in same time i cant change the folder of backup , it must be always ""/var/www/html/backup""


but i have another idea , i have mounted a big hardisk on /Recording

and all i need is , i want to create a folder in /Recording such as it will be like /Recording/backup


so , all i need now is :
i want the backup that is done on "/var/www/html/backup" to be done actually on "/Recording/backup" ????

is there a way to do the folder /var/www/html/backup as a shortcut to the folder /Recording/backup such as all tasks and operations done on /var/www/html/backup , be done on /var/www/html/backup ???

again , all i need is to save my hdd space and let it done on the other big hdd that is mounted on /Recording/backup


thanks alot and hope to help me

cheers

You can move the /var/www/html/backup folder to /Recording folder and put a symlink.
