A good way to backup Redhat??
 

Hi all.

I have a Redhat 9 system. I want to do a FULL system backup, both Redhat and all the data (almost 90 GB total).

I have network attached disk storage that has more than enough storage to handle the backups.

Anyone have any ideas?

You can find information about several backup packages here .

backup:
# shutdown any databases
cd /
find ./ -xdev | cpio -ov | gzip -c > /nas/backup.cpio.gz

restore:
cd /
gzip -dc /nas/backup.cpio.gz | cpio -iv

disclaimer: test carefully to ensure you get everything
