Well, one suggestion is to use fbackup. You could use 'ignite' (make_tape_recovery) for a small system. If it is a really large system, you should look at a commercial package like omniback.

Below is a simple fbackup script.
/usr/sbin/fbackup -f /dev/rmt/0m -g /usr/local/backup/fbackup.list -I /usr/local/backup/log/fbackup.index > /usr/local/backup/log/fbkuplog.`date +%d` 2>&1

# more fbackup.list
i /

You could make the program far more complicated by using indexes.
e.g. cron entry
30 22 * * 1-5 /usr/local/backup/fbackup.ksh

Hi mick,

take a look at http://www.backupcentral.com/free-backup-software1.html

There are some scripts for backup of databases, operating systems and so on.

Maybe it will help you.

Bye

If you can afford it, get an enterprise solution like Netbackup...

Attached is a script I used to use quite some time ago to backup Baan...it is tar based.

The backupcentral.com site is a definite bookmark! Lots of good stuff there if you roll your own or work with a commercial product. (lacking OmniBack/Data Protector)
