I am setting up a backup linux machine to work over
samba to backup files from a windows machine.
Script that i am
using:
________________________________________________ #!/bin/sh
# full and incr backup script # created 27 Sep 99 # Based on a script by Daniel O'Callaghan <danny@xxxxxxxxxxx> #Change the 5 variables below to fit your
computer/backup
COMPUTER=york_backup
# name of this
computer
DIRECTORIES=/mnt/york/e/photography/fall2003 # directoris to backup BACKUPDIR=/bkup/york/e/Photographyfall2003 # where to store the backups TIMEDIR=/bkup/york/e/Photography # where to store time of full backup TAR=/bin/tar # name and locaction of tar #You should not have to change anything below
here
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
DOW=`date +%a` # Day of the week e.g. Mon DOM=`date +%d` # Date of the Month e.g. 27 DM=`date +%d%b` # Date and Month e.g. 27Sep # On the 1st of the month a permanet full backup is
made
# Every Sunday a full backup is made - overwriting last Sundays backup # The rest of the time an incremental backup is made. Each incremental # backup overwrites last weeks incremental backup of the same name. # # if NEWER = "", then tar backs up all files in the directories # otherwise it backs up files newer than the NEWER date. NEWER # gets it date from the file written every Sunday. if [ $DOM = "01" ]; then # monthly full backup NEWER="" tar $NEWER -cv -f $BACKUPDIR/$COMPUTER-$DM.tgz $DIRECTORIES fi if [ $DOW = "Sat" ]; then # weekly full
backup
NEWER="" NOW=`date +%d-%b` echo $NOW > $TIMEDIR/$COMPUTER-full-date #update full backup date tar $NEWER -cv -f $BACKUPDIR/$COMPUTER-$DOW.tgz $DIRECTORIES else #make incremental backup -
overwrite last weeks
NEWER="--newer `cat $TIMEDIR/$COMPUTER-full-date`" #get date of last full backup tar $NEWER -cv -f $BACKUPDIR/$COMPUTER-$DOW.tgz $DIRECTORIES fi _________________________________________________ Here is the output
:

always has '...: file changed as we read it" (its not being
access)
Why do i get the "tar: Erro exit delayed from
previous errors"
How do i fix it? What does it mean? Thanks |
