Incremental Backup (tar command)
 

I want to make a incremental backup

but I always get a error when trying to use the "g" option in tar, like this:
if I use without the g option them it creates the backup file I seted. But I want to create a weekly task of backup in cron, so I have to have the command right seted.

I want to backup the files every week so I want the incremental backup type.

I'm not sure but this page has helped me a lot when making my backup scripts.

hope you find it useful.

I never use the -g option but check this for incremental solution :

As you can see, the use of the date command may be judicious
and you will be able to rotate the files with a /etc/logrotate.d/*
configuration file

Has anybody tried mondo rescue for inc bkps? Can it even be done?

Good bedtime read
