[Zope] Regarding ZOPE backup procedure

[BZ]

I run RH Linux and here is what I do (you can tell I have lost data in=20=

the past). If you only did daily and weekly that would be pretty good.

/etc/cron.hourly/zope_cron

#!/bin/sh
########################################
# File: /etc/cron.hourly/zope_dat.cron
#
# Backup Zope Database Hourly
########################################
#
# rsync arguments:
# -q       ::=3D Quiet operation, for cron logs
# -u       ::=3D Update only, don't overwrite newer files
# -t       ::=3D Preserve file timestamps
# -p       ::=3D Preserve file permissions
# -o       ::=3D Preserve file owner
# -g       ::=3D Preserve file group
# -z       ::=3D Compress during transfer
# -e ssh   ::=3D Use the ssh utility to secure the link
#
ARCHDIR=3D"/mnt/drive2/archive/zope/hourly"
#
/usr/bin/rsync -q -u -t -p -o -g /usr/local/zope/var/Data.fs ${ARCHDIR}
#
exit 0

and daily:

#!/bin/sh
########################################
# File: /etc/cron.daily/zbackup.cron
#
# Backup Zope Database Daily
########################################
#
# rsync arguments:
# -q       ::=3D Quiet operation, for cron logs

# -p       ::=3D Preserve file permissions
# -o       ::=3D Preserve file owner
# -g       ::=3D Preserve file group
# -z       ::=3D Compress during transfer
# -e ssh   ::=3D Use the ssh utility to secure the link
#
ARCHTOP=3D"/mnt/drive2/archive/zope/"
DOW=3D`date +%A`
ARCHDIR=3D"${ARCHTOP}${DOW}"
#
# Insure Our Day-of-Week Directory Exists
[ -d ${ARCHDIR} ] || mkdir ${ARCHDIR} || {
     echo "Could Not Create Day-of-Week Directory: ${ARCHDIR}" ; exit 1
}
#
/usr/bin/rsync -q -u -t -p -o -g /usr/local/zope/var/Data.fs ${ARCHDIR}
#
# ln -sf ${ARCHDIR} ${ARCHTOP}Current
#
exit 0

And Weekly:

#
# ln -sf ${ARCHDIR} ${ARCHTOP}Current
#
exit 0

[root@newbaby jatwood]# more /etc/cron.weekly/zope_archive.cron
