HI all,

I've some script for backing up my linux server. I've two server one is limon
and other is poran.
the scripts are as follows
1st 0ne:

#!/bin/sh
# Individual clients mail allbackup script
# It will run every 1st date in each month at 00:05 AM
#
/bin/mkdir /mnt/usb/limon_bac/August29
#
/bin/tar -pzcvf /mnt/usb/limon_bac/August29/limon-etc-August30.tgz /etc/*
#
/bin/tar -pzcvf /mnt/usb/limon_bac/August29/limon-html-August30.tgz /usr/local/apache2/*
#
/bin/tar -pzcvf /mnt/usb/dhaka_bac/August29/limon-mysql-August30.tgz /usr/local/pgsql/data/*
#
/bin/tar -pzcvf /mnt/usb/limon_bac/August29/limon-root-August30.tgz /root/*

2nd one:

tar czvf /var/limon-backup.tar.gz /root/ /home/shabbir/ /etc /usr/local/apache2/ /var/spool/mail/ /var/named/ /usr/local/pgsql/data /usr/local/drikmail/

3rd one:

#!/bin/sh
echo -n "Start of daily backup at: " >> /var/log/backup.log
/bin/date >> /var/log/backup.log
/bin/mount -t nfs poran:/shared /mnt/poran
/usr/bin/find / -path '/mnt' -prune -o -print -depth -xdev |/root/scripts/filter
list > file.list
/bin/cat file.list|/bin/cpio -o --format=crc | /bin/gzip >/volume1/backup.limon.
cpio.gz
umask 066
su -c 'cp /volume1/backup.limon.cpio.gz /mnt/poran' nobody
#rm -f /volume1/backup.limon.cpio.gz
sleep 60
/bin/sync
sleep 60
echo -n "End of daily backup at: " >> /var/log/backup.log
/bin/date >> /var/log/backup.log
/bin/umount /mnt/poran

I know the above scripts are well but how can I backup..I dont understand!

I've an external HD for backup and mount it to my server...
Then what can I do for backing up both the server..
Please help me ...

I appreciate all of you...

Thanks in advance

ALL file scripts need to set executable with chmod 755
after that just ./script1 or whatever that file you named it .

if you dont want to use ./ for command then copy those file to /usr/bin
so next time just like this # script1 <- return

ps: edit the script to suite your backup destination

hope this help

cheers

question is that how can i backup both server to external hard drive?

since you already mounted poran inside the limon server
then tar can be used ( i assume usb drive in limon)

use tar pzcvf /mnt/usb/poran.tar.gz /mnt/poran

this will straight put poran.tar.gz to inside your usb drive

or you can cd /mnt/usb/poran then tar pzvf poran.tar.gz /mnt/poran

both will put /mnt as parent folder in your backup

-------------
for local system (limon) you can use tar with --exclude mnt

thanks...
