Backup script to FTP with timed subfolders

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I want to make a backup script, that makes a .tar.gz of a folder I define, say fx /root/tekkit/world This .tar.gz file should then be uploaded to a FTP server, named by the time it was uploaded, for example: 07-10-2012-13-00.tar.gz How should such backup script be written? I already figured out the .tar.gz part - just need the naming and the uploading to FTP. I know that FTP is not the most secure way to do it, but as it is non-sensitive data, and FTP is the only option I have, it will do. Edit: I ended up with this script: #!/bin/bash # have some path predefined for backup unless on (HowTos)

I'm trying to setup a backup script on Ubuntu. Every day I want to copy my local source directory to a backup directory on a remote server uniquely named with the date. (e.g., backup-jan1/, backup-jan2/, etc) It should store a mirror of the earliest state and use difference files to recreate the new backup points.

This is pretty simple with rsync.

Backup Script 2 years 28 weeks ago

Hey, I hope this is the right thread, if not my apologies, mods feel free to move it.

I had some extra time today, and decided to write a small script to backup up an ubuntu installation.

I want to run a command/shell script say script.sh from 1AM to 2AM per minute. After observing that crontab can't work it out 'per sec' I had to go with 'per min'.

Basically, My server.sh file takes backup of my database on server. This is done by three text files with names of tables in it, hence creating three backup archives.

hello all,

i have the below script that we used to backup our DB using oracle's utility called RMAN. This has been working fine, but the issue is when the backup fails and we re-start it, it backups the whole thing again. Example.

lets say i have 5 database on my system(db1,db2,db3,db4,db5) and we use below script which loops for a file called /etc/oratab which has my DB names in it.

I'm looking for a good SQL Server Backup Script which would create stored procedures that can be re-used. I found one at www.ola.hallengren.com. It's a very good script but unfortunately it doesn't allow option on how the backup folder location is to be set (it creates a directory structure of its own)

Anybody found a good one?

I have some applications in Lunux which creates Log files of around 41 MB each.
