I want to setup a nightly extra backup to an external HD. We have a clone server for security (also HP, SCSI, OpenServer 5.0.6).
We backup to tape via MicroLite's BackupEdge. We want to add a "backup" to an external Sun SCSI HD.
Restoring from the HD would be faster & easier, especially since we usually would only need to restore the DB directory. NOTE: The customer is PARANOID - they had one server failure in 6 years but now they do a restore on the clone weekly "just to be sure..."
THE PROBLEM:
I don't know Unix!
I can setup the new Sun HD (fdisk, divvy).
But I don't know:
1) how to create a "batch" job.
2) how to schedule the batch job to run every 2am.
3) if it is possible to to copy the all directories to the external HD (I assume it would skip any "active" files)?
Thanks
