Run automated backups to a UNIX server
Thank you. This was a well thought out script. I really like the usage of syslog and complete rsync logs too. My only suggestion would be to schedule it using launchd if you have Tiger instead of cron, because cron cannot run jobs it missed while it was asleep, and launchd can. I'll be implementing this for my powerbook today. Your method is perfect for machines not always connected to the network like laptops. the rsnapshot hint is much better for always connected machines that never sleep (ie. servers).
Run automated backups to a UNIX server
I notice you are not using the extended attributes (-E) option to rsync. This means that rsync will not copy resource forks. I've had huge problems with the -E options to rysnc - the program crashes, and all the resource forks get copied all the time. |
