ibackup1

Usage

Overview

Create a backup of configuration files using tar with the options -cflpX, with support to exclude files. The script needs bash, if you do not have bash in /bin/bash, create a link or change the first line of /usr/bin/ibackup. The backup will be named hostname_date_time.tar, if gzip is installed it will be gzipped (.gz) otherwise if compress is installed compressed (.Z). There is an option to encrypt the tarball, if openssl is installed. You can also let the tarball upload to some other host, if you have scp (secure copy, comes with openssh).

It is meant to be used automated as a cronjob.

Notes

Please edit /etc/ibackup.conf to fit your needs.
