Backup with hard disk and crontab
Hi all,
I have a linux box which is a mail server for a small company nothing
fancy a PII266 and a 4.3 wd hdd.
any way i was asked to prepare some sort of backup to it and thought of
the following system.
1.connect a similar hd (model and size)
2.partiton it the same way the original hdd
3.use dd to copy each partition to the same partition on second hdd .
4.put it into crontab so it'll replay this every other week .
Its a redhat 5.1 with a 2.3.41 kernel so i dont want to mess with mirror
and kernel upgrades ( as the wise technician said - if it works don't
touch it !!!)
any idea's comments or objections would be greatly appreciated.
Moti
