Backup script: Copying and removing directories based on list
I am writing a simple backup script, but I cannot figure out how to remove directories that are found in a list. For example:
Note that this example does not work, I need to translate the DONT_COPY list to a better format. How can I do that?
Later in the script I compare the list of items in COPIED to a DO_COPY list so that the user could examine them at his leisure and decide whether or not to include them in future backups.

Many thanks! (4 Replies)
Hi,
I'm looking to delete some files from directories.
I've just put in a file the location of these files.
e.g:
in file supprs.txt there is:
/usr/host/t1.txt

Is it possible to take this file "supprs.txt" as a parameter in a shell command ? (2 Replies)

backup-whatsthis
BACKUP-WHATSTHIS(1) Chiark-backup BACKUP-WHATSTHIS(1)NAME
backup-whatsthis - read an id off a tape and display it
SYNOPSIS
backup-whatsthis [--list [n]]
DESCRIPTION
`backup-whatsthis' is a simple script to display the TAPEID of the current tape and optionally list its contents. This script is a bit of
a hack and may not be fully reliable.
OPTIONS --list [n] Print TAPEID then list archive n (default 0). Note that archives are numbered from zero.
FILES
/etc/chiark-backup/settings.pl
Configuration file for the whole of chiark-backup
BUGS
`backup-whatsthis' is currently hardwired to assume `cpio' type backups when listing; it could be trivially hardwired to assume `zafio' or
with slightly more effort it could be done properly :->.
