First create a script to do an automated backup from client to the Ignite server. After checks for sucessfull backups - run script from crontab, redirect the output to log files, analyze log files and so on ...

After that create a cronjob on the Ignite server or wherever you want (can be locally) to create make_net_recovery archives.


regards,
ivan

Put this entry in the crontab of root of the clients.

make_net_recovery -smyserver-x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01-x exclude=/depots

Shalom,

Take your normal make_net_recovery script.

whence make_net_recovery

Modify your script to insure the path of make_net_recovery is on the PATH variable of the script or that it is run directly with full path.

That is all.

Hi,

You can add the lines below to your crontab to automate your backup. You can just change to your preferred schedule


30 3 * * 0 /opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -s IGNITE_SERVER -a IGNITE_SERVER:/directory -P s -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/tmp -x exclude=/var/tmp -d ARCHIVE_NAME -v > /usr/local/logs/ignite.log 2>&1
