Ubuntu Make a Mirror Backup

viper3two · 05-20-2010, 09:54 AM

Hi
I have set up a Ubuntu box that is a proxy server. Everything works great and I would like to somehow make a complete disc backup of everything on that hard drive, incase it fails. Took me quite a while how to figure out everything and get it working. The box has an 80gb drive, with Ubuntu 9.10 loaded, standard default setup. Could I just install a 2nd hard drive and somehow give it a command to mirror everything to the 2nd hard drive?
Thanks for the help

else you can try with crontab command that copy important files on 2nd drive occasionaly
