Hello all, I am wondering if it would be possible to write a script or a cronjob in linux using Rsync to run an automated backup of a server, or serveral servers if possible. I am very new with writing scripts and such, so any help or suggestions with how to get started would be great!!! Thanks ahead of time for the help!!! ----- Computers are like air conditioners.

Hi, Presently I have the latest full backup in a 'current' directory and 30 day incrementals in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format directories. Without changing that directory structure I'd like the 'YYYY-DD-MM' directories to contain the full system hardlinked (when applicable) to 'current'. What rsync command-line options could provide me with this? Thanks,

...warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] ...done. the rysnc command is /usr/local/bin/rsync -aCHh --stats --delete-after --delete-excluded \ --exclude="/backup/" --exclude-from=/var/.rexcludes \ --link-dest="${BAKLOC}.sday.1" / ${BAKLOC}.sday.0 where BAKLOC is defined previously to /backup/mail Is there anything I can do to have rsync work on a instantaneous snapshot so these files don't even up getting moved out from under the backup process? This is 2.6.9 and I am not in a position to upgrade...
