'SCRIPT: File Backup to FTP'
Zips a collection of files and keep 4-days worth on a remote FTP server

Code: Select all

cd /mnt/tivobox/backup/
rm -rf books.tar.gz
tar -czf books.tar.gz /mnt/sda1/books/A-1*.*
ftp <<EOF
open 216.218.219.130
user username password
rm books.tar.gz.oldest
mv books.tar.gz.older books.tar.gz.oldest
mv books.tar.gz.old books.tar.gz.older
mv books.tar.gz books.tar.gz.old
put books.tar.gz
bye

cd /mnt/accounting/books/ // Go to the folder where the files are
rm -rf books.tar.gz // Remove the old tar file
tar -czf books.tar.gz /mnt/sda1/books/*.qbb // Tar the files you want to back up
ftp <<EOF // Let's FTP, shall we?
open 216.218.219.130 // Open the IP
user username password // user bob c0rnh0li0, is this spanish to you?
rm books.tar.gz.oldest // delete the oldest backup file
mv books.tar.gz.older books.tar.gz.oldest // move #3 to #4
mv books.tar.gz.old books.tar.gz.older // move #2 to #3
mv books.tar.gz books.tar.gz.old // move #1 to #2
put books.tar.gz // Here comes #1
bye // <-- the answer is on the postcard

OK, time to start backing things up again, I put it off for too long to start using this script.

Now with 7 days worth of backups!

Code: Select all

cd /mnt/accounting/books/
rm -rf books.tar.gz
tar -czf books.tar.gz /mnt/accounting/books/*.QB*
ftp <<EOF
open domainname.orIPaddress.com
user username password
rm books.7daysold.tar.gz
mv books.6daysold.tar.gz books.7daysold.tar.gz
mv books.5daysold.tar.gz books.6daysold.tar.gz
mv books.4daysold.tar.gz books.5daysold.tar.gz
mv books.3daysold.tar.gz books.4daysold.tar.gz
mv books.2daysold.tar.gz books.3daysold.tar.gz
mv books.1daysold.tar.gz books.2daysold.tar.gz
