8.5. Example of a Weekly Full Backup Followed by Daily Incremental Backups
The following script performs a full backup on a Sunday followed by incremental backups for each of the following days. A new subdirectory is created for each day that an incremental backup is performed. The script requires a daily cron job.
Note that the satellite-maintain backup
command requires /sbin
and /usr/sbin
directories to be in PATH
and the --assumeyes
option is used to skip the confirmation prompt.
