backup via ftp, depth copy, script already out there?
|
|
| werwer 2006-10-30, 7:10 pm |
| Is there a Net::FTP script already out there which does an in depth
copy from
a given point in a directory structure and copies and recreates the
directory
structure where the files are saved?

I should add that the perl script will run from the backup site; going
out
and collecting files to be stored.

Not a perl solution, but 'rsync' works well, otherwise 'tar' the files,
maybe compress it, FTP it, and untar/uncompress it. What issues are you
having?
Post what you've tried or search for a similar solution on the Internet.

our local
Win box drives to INSURE we don't loose work. It it isn't written in
COBAL, it
seems, it aint worth backing up. :-)

| I'm not up on TAR, but great idea!
We could remote that command, check for completed, then just copy
the tar file. Hey, that's it! Thanks.

rsync is a *very* suitable solution to this.
