Mates,
I have set up a backup scheme that uses rsync to backup shares from my
mdk 7.2 box to an old ibm box that is running win95. Basically I use
"smbmount //backup/d /mnt/backup -o password=" to mount the ibm's
d:/ as
/mnt/backup. How can I test to see if the drive is still mounted without
using another smbmount call prior to starting the rsync backup. smbmount
works for this, but is gives errors. My current script is as follows: (don't
laugh, it works) Also is there any way to stop rsync from trying to chown
each file which, in my case, doesn't make sense due to the target being a
winblows drive?? You thoughts are appreciated.
#!/bin/bash
DATE=`date`
echo $DATE >> /home/david/rsync.log
echo >> /home/david/rsync.log
if
smbmount //backup/d /mnt/backup -o password
then
echo starting Rankin Law Firm backup >> /home/david/rsync.log
echo >> /home/david/rsync.log
/usr/bin/rsync -av --delete /home/samba/rankin/
/mnt/backup/rankin
echo Rankin Law Firm backup -- [OK] >> /home/david/rsync.log
echo >> /home/david/rsync.log
echo starting Rankin-Bertin backup >> /home/david/rsync.log
echo >> /home/david/rsync.log
/usr/bin/rsync -av --delete /home/samba/rbpllc/
/mnt/backup/rbpllc
echo Rankin-Bertin backup -- [OK] >> /home/david/rsync.log
echo >> /home/david/rsync.log
else
echo smbmount of backup/d -- [Failed] >> /home/david/rsync.log
echo >> /home/david/rsync.log
