I'm running eclipse on windows and would like to automatically backup my src direcories for all my projects. I installed cygwin and tried to make a simple backup script but I am having trouble properly specifying the destination filename.
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 have the folder "Backup yzT Jan-01-2013". I've made also a script for do a backup everyday.
The problem I'm facing is how to rename the folder day by day according to date? Get the new name is easy, it's just
"/home/yzT/Backup yzT `date '+%b-%d-%Y'`"
However how can I select the folder "Backup yzT Jan-01-2013" exactly? Because every day it will be different.
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. ?
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 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
I am writing a shell script to cd to a folder.
folder name is "October Scripts"
I am currently storing the name of folder in a shell variable as so path="October\ Scripts/".
If I do cd $path I receive the error bash: cd: October\: No such file or directory
What am I doing wrong?
Kindly help
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.
Hi,
I am trying to backup all *.tar files from a legacy Linux to a portable harddrive.
find . -name "*.tar" -exec cp {} /media/mypassport/backup \;
I found that there are files with the same filenames and they were overwritten
in the destination folder. They are coming from different directories.
