It is always interesting to automate the tasks of a backup. Automation offers enormous opportunities for using your Linux server to achieve the goals you set. The following example below is our backup script, called backup.cron. This script is designed to run on any computer by changing only the four variables: We suggest that you set this script up and run it at the beginning of the month for the first time, and then run it for a month before making major changes.
Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other. Unison shares a number of features with tools such as configuration management packages ( CVS , PRCS , etc.), distributed filesystems ( Coda , etc.), uni-directional mirroring utilities ( rsync , etc.), and other synchronizers ( Intellisync , Reconcile , etc). However, there are several points where it differs: Unison runs on both Windows (95, 98, NT, 2k, and XP) and Unix (OSX, Solaris, Linux, etc.) systems. Moreover, Unison works across platforms, allowing you to synchronize a Windows laptop with a Unix server, for example.
