[Almost complete Copy of an e-mail from Patrick Drolet]
|
|
|
|
Hello again,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have created a script to better manage the backups since my
|
|
upload/download ratio and my bandwidth is limited by my ISP, and my hard
|
|
disk space is also somewhat limited. The script is called
|
|
"ccollect_mgr.sh".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Provides the following features
|
|
|
|
1) Determine the interval (daily/weekly/monthly)
|
|
|
|
a. Define when you want weekly and monthly backups. It takes care of
|
|
the rest
|
|
|
|
2) Perform the backups using ccollect
|
|
|
|
3) Copy the ccollect log output to the first backup of the set
|
|
|
|
a. Keeping the detailed log of each backup is always handy!
|
|
|
|
4) Build a periodic report and include the real amount of disk used
|
|
|
|
a. Computes the real amount of disk used (eg: no double counting of
|
|
hard links)
|
|
|
|
b. Shows the actual amount of data transferred
|
|
|
|
5) Send an email if there has been errors or warnings
|
|
|
|
6) Send a periodic email to show transfer size, real backup size, etc
|
|
|
|
a. Weekly reports are nice.!
|
|
|
|
[...]
|
|
|
|
- rdu (real du), which computes the real amount of disk used (no
|
|
double/triple counting hard links), same code as in ccollect_mgr.sh.
|
|
|
|
- S60ccollect_example, an example script to put in etc/init.d to
|
|
add ccollect_mgr to the crontab
