Selected backup is based on mysql_backup.cgi, but without
the 'mysqldump' function. It doesn't interact with any databases
- it simply tars and gzips files and directories, based on
an include file and an exclude file.
I use it to backup special dirs, once in awhile, and I also
use it to backup my whole hard drive from drive 1 to drive
2. To do that, I copy the scripts to new names, with new include
files, and place them in the /usr/local/sbin directory (or
anywhere, but you have to run them as root, to backup whole
drives,) and then run them under cron. Here are the various
iterations (I use 3 sets for Disk to Disk, one for var, one
for my web tree (virtual) and one for root /.) Note that the
root backup excludes the others - but you can easily modify
the files.
[ Note to Programmers: If you're a programmer,
and are concerned about issues such as 'use strict', 'my'
and other programming constructs, you may be interested in a note about
programming methods. ]
