Drakbackup - help needed please

[Guest cheese]

Good morning All,

 

I wonder if someone can answer what is probably a really simple question for me.

 

I have RTFM several times, but must be missing the point.

 

We have got a bunch of users which all back up fine, but I have also added a communal directory called /company/, which they can add directories to.

 

So, how do I get DrakBackup to backup /company/ and all the subdirectories?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Neil.

it seems that when you will use the drakbackup util , it will only let you backup the folders of a certain user or under a certain user that you specify to backup using the following compression, tar, tar.gz,tar,bz2... so if I am the one incharge to backup, maybe i'll try #tar czvf company-backup.tar.gz /maindir/company ( my scenario is backing it to other HD)

it will create a file backup.tar.gz containing the company's files and subfolders

 

also,I forgot how to do it, but I think tar util is capable of incremental compression, and epreserving ownership... maybe if you really want that features, try to read tar manual instead or #man tar

Have a look at this article, or search on google with linux backup.

With MCC you can select also particular folders.

 

Go to System -> Backup -> Manual configuration -> What -> Other.

Then choose your folder.

 

Bye
