Backing up data on Linux and Unix is a beautiful thing. It's beautiful because |
|
everything that you ever need is at the command line and can be easily scripted |
|
and put in cron jobs. |
|
|
|
On my systems I basically use two things; tar and rsync. Sometimes I'll also do |
|
whole disc clones using Clonezilla. Clonezilla is a live CD distro that is |
|
self explanitory when you run it. Just make sure your destination disc is as |
|
big or bigger than the source disc. Clonezilla takes care of everything else |
|
for you, it even backs up NTFS partitions. I don't see the need to explain it |
|
further. There is plenty of documentation about it out there if you never used |
|
a disc cloning program before. |
|
|
|
Anyway, below I put some files about using tar and rsync. I'll add more |
|
content in the future if need be. |
