Every 3 hours the script will run and backup a folder "SOURCE" and it will save it along with the other backups of the current day in the folder "month-day-year" e.g. "03-24-13". When a new day comes, it creates a new folder with the new date and deletes all but the latest backup in the previous day's folder. Here is where the problem is, it only works the first time.
With the new backup format of blop files with 6.0.1.2, I'm wondering if the folder name under backup needs to be the same as it was generated?
The timestamp is wrong and new of mine where 1970 and i renamed them but they refused to restore sating MD5 checksum error.
Can the folders within the /clockworkmod/backup folder be renamed?
The actual backup folder (the folder which name is the date the backup was created) size is 17mb. while the "blobs" folder located on the clockworck mod folder is 929mb...
is this normal ?
PD: in fact, i have other nandroids stored on my pc which the backup folder is like 700mb-1gb, and there is no "blobs" folder.
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.
Having successfully backed up two laptops, I turned to the main system and installed Deja Dup on that, and proceeded to backup my home folder( excluding various folders).
As I now wish to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10, and then to 12.04 (following the route I took with the laptops) I want to save the backup folder to an 8G memory stick bought for the purpose.
Problem - the "Properties"
I am trying to create a tar backup script.
I would like to create backup from directory using cron. I wrote following command:
cd path && sudo zip -r "backup-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").zip" git/ && sudo mv "backup-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").zip" /backup/
when I call it from commandline then everything is ok. But when I put it to cron then it does not work. Log contains only part of this command and nothing more.
Alright well today i was going to flash Black Plague's Kernal over RN2 and compare battery life. After I made a backup I changed the name of the backup to RN2 and apparently changing backup folder names makes it so the backup is impossible... this is common knowledge but i didn't know this.
Any other restrictions to backups? (change folder areas, move whole folder to computer, etc.?)
hi all
so i regularly backup my note 2 before I rom it with a new rom.
my question is, if i wanted to copy the cwm backup files off the phone for backup, do i just need the dated backup folder or do i also need the blobs folder if i wanted to do a restore. ?
