Automated File Backup

[Pankaj_22]

I want to take the File Level (Without Tape Drive) backup from one machine to another machine. This should be automated Backup.

Please guide me

if both machines are hpux and you have ssh installed, you just need to set up a pair of trusted keys and use scp to copy file(s) from one machine to the other using somethinglike this:

scp /local/file/name remotehost:/remote/file/name.

a guide, written by Steven Protter is attached to guide you to set up the trusted keys (MS Word Doc).

Hope this helps

I saw that your last post is about linux.

Are you using Linux or HP-UX?

If HP-UX:

fbackup -f remote_system:/dev/rmt/0m -i /filesystem

If Linux:

env RSH=/usr/bin/ssh star -c -xdev f=user@remote_system:/dev/st0 /filesystem

fbackup -f remote_system:/tmp/backupfile.fbackup -i /filesystem

If you are just want a copy of the file,
consider using rsync. It is very efficient
at synconizing changes in files.

I use rsync to update copies of my web server
access logs which grow over the week. Only
some checksum data and the new data is copied.

I also use it to update a web site from a test
site. Again only changes are copied.

I am Sorry guys as I have not given you complete information.

1. I have Linux system where the data should be backed up from Unix machine.

2. I have Unix machine from where data should be backed up on Linux Machine.
