Hello all, how can i create a weekly system backup to an external usb drive (as a compressed archive i guess) and keep the last 5 or 10 versions before dumping them? Does anybody know how to do th...
Cron is a must go step to automate backups.
I would rather use bzip2 (--test option is cool) or tar to backup depending on your needs. Rsync can be used but you won't have an archive.
You can set the backup with the date in its name so they'll stack in the destination folder.
To delete old backups, this should do (keeps 30 days) :
find /path -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;
