-Hello
- I am trying to automate my backup instead of manually tar cvf whatever
What the script should do is the following ;-
1) make a tar file of the user home directory
2) copies it to the backup directory
4) This tar file should rotate like so in the backup directory
$username1.tar.gz
$username2.tar.gz
$username3.tar.gz
$username1.tar.gz (overwritting username1 from the beginning)
3) in smb.conf in [home] root postexec /usr/local/etc/backup.sh
Here is the copy of my script:-
#!/bin/sh
# Danny 15/6/00
# Checks if /home/backup exists
if [ ! -f /home/backup ]; then
cd /home/$user/
tar cvf $user.tar *
gzip $user.tar
cp $user.tar.gz /home/backup/
fi
- Sadly, the above script doesn't work and I need some kind of direction or
assistance to make it work.
