Summary : Simple backup script, using afio, suitable for SOHO environments
Description :
This is a set of scripts and documentation to facilitate backups of RedHat
Linux, using an OnStream DI-30 tape drive. However, with very minor
editing it should work for any Linux distribution, and for any supported
tape drive. It rotates through Monday_1 to 3 and Monthly_1 to 5 media for
a rolling 5 month window. The jpbackup shell script is heavily commented
-- review for more details.
It uses afio as the backup engine. There are no command line options.
It's intended for a "set it and forget it" configuration, scheduled via
cron. You just have to remember to swap tapes each week. It's also not
really set up as a "user-mode" program -- it wants to be run by root.
