Auto backup a folder?
| Posted by Zaitech, 05-24-2007, 04:53 PM |
| I have all my computers hooked up to a server running Ubuntu Linux. I want to make it so that at say, 5 AM every morning, the computer checks for changes to a specific folder..and if there are, automatically transfer the files to the server.
This way, if anyone on my network needs something backed up they just put it in that folder and it will auto backup just in case.
Is there anyway to do this? Software?

| I do this now with rsnapshot. I have it run on the local machine and backup all dirs I want to my /backup drive, I then have the backup server login and rsync the changed files to the backup server. Pretty simple. www.rsnapshot.org

| You could use crontab to save the folder, or files but not really check to see if they are there.
