Re: [PLUG] disk to disk copy

[Doug Crompton <doug@crompton.com>]

I use a second (identical) drive as backup in my system. Below is the
script I use to make the backup. Should the primary drive fail the
secondary is identical. I don't worry about booting as I boot from a
floppy.

Doug

#!/bin/bash
#
# Backup Entire File System
#
echo "Last Backup - "`date` > /root/bin/last_backup
#
/bin/mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb5 /backup/boot
# hdb6 is swap
/bin/mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb7 /backup/root
/bin/mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb8 /backup/usr
/bin/mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb9 /backup/var
/bin/mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb10 /backup/home
/bin/mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb11 /backup/opt
#

/bin/cp -axu /usr /backup
/bin/cp -axu /var /backup
/bin/cp -axu /home /backup
/bin/cp -axu /opt /backup
