Incremental backup
Hi, I would like to create a daily incremental backup of a directory with all of the files within and add a timestamp (year-month-day) to the tar.gz file. I have the following, but it doesn't backup the inside files of the directory. Code:
#!/bin/bash tar -czf /home/username/Desktop/test`date+%Y%m%d`.tar.gz /home/username/Desktop/directory Does this replaces the last tar.gz with the new one each day? Also, if errors presented I would like those to go to a .out file in /tmp Thanks in advance for your handy help! Regards, |

If 'directory' is a directory, follow it with a /
To capture errors, redirect STDERR by adding "2> /tmp/blah.out" to the end of the command (bourne compatible shells). |
