Automated Backup Script

[mukundmurari]

Hi All !

My senior has given me this assignment plz give me step by step Procedure. i am very new to linux. plz help !!

we set up one linux machine to have a directory specifically for the 192.168.1.11 backup(this is our file server which needs to be backedup), we share that directory using NFS (chkconfig nfs on & vi /etc/exports) to make it accessible by 192.168.1.11 only. Then we mount that directory automatically on 192.168.1.11 (create /mnt/backup and add it to /etc/fstab). Now we can create a tar command that backups all files to new linux machine(for backup) as a .tgz file preserving permissions. Once you have the command working we can schedule it using cron. Please investigate how to do this by using Google, etc. and looking at the various files on the existing servers. Write a document showing what files need changing and what we should add. Do not change any of the files until you have finished the document and I have reviewed it.

PLZ HELP !

Thankx

MAX
