Hi Tom, I use this to mirror one of our servers to another disk in the same machine. How we did it was we installed FreeBSD on that disk in another machine, and then put it in the main server.. now we just run this script periodically, and we have a backup solution :) Hope it helps :) D. #!/bin/sh # Rsync Backup Script export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin LIST="bin dev etc lib mnt sbin usr boot dbu home root tmp var" echo "Copying files.." #Loop thru the list for d in $LIST; do echo -n "... COPYING: /$d/" /usr/local/bin/rsync --delete -ax /$d/ /disk2/mirror/$d/ echo " " done echo "Backup Complete .. Exiting." -------------------------------- Dale Corse System Administrator Wolfpaw Services Inc. http://www.wolfpaw.net (780) 474-4095 > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Thomas Dwyer > Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 8:01 AM > To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org > Subject: Mirror Server > > > Hello; > > I would like to setup a backup server to replace the main > server should a disaster occur.
