Hello,
I am running RH9 Pro 2.4.20-28.9SMP. I want to backup my home directory,
and if I can figure out how, backup the whole system. My home directory
will fit on one 700Mb CD, but the system would require multiple CD's. I
wrote a script.
#!/bin/bash
rm /home/shadow/shadowbackup.iso
cdrecord --dev=0,0,0 --force --blank=all
mkisofs -o shadowbackup.iso -x /*.tar -x /*.tar.gz -x /*.rpm -R -A -V -v
/home/shadow
cdrecord -v -eject dev=0,0,0 /home/shadow/shadowbackup.iso
I want to run it from cron using a rewritable CD.
Questions:
Does cron run if the computer is left at the log on screen with no one
logged on?
Is there a way to write a large *.iso file to multiple CD's?
Does anyone see anything wrong with my script?
Is /home/shadow the proper place for shadowbackup.iso?
Is /home/shadow the proper place for the script backup.sh?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Charles Marcak
