I am a noob when it comes to using gnome/Linux s and I have what is a basic questions to most of you. I currently have a variety of servers on the network and even though I conduct nightly backups of these servers onto tape. I was wondering if it was possible to create a batch job that would also run nightly to copy selected folders from the different server over to a Linux box which is running gnome. The main reason I want to do this is for the simple fact that on occasion users will accidentally over write existing documents (they will use an existing document as a template then hit the 'save' button instead of the 'save as' button on there Win workstations). If I have to retrieve previous documents from a previous back up tape, I have to travel across town to where the tapes are stored offsite, then spend allot of time to retrieve a single document. By creating a hot backup (for lack of a better term) I could at least retrieve info from the previous 24 hours with relative ease. Thanks for any help you could provide.
