the --delete option says "delete files that don't exist on the sending side"
Does this mean and only mean that it will delete files from the DESTINATION that DON'T EXIST on the sending side? :confused: (2 Replies)

I've got a new MythTV box at home and figured it would be a great opportunity to use it to do daily mirrors of my mysqlbackup directory (let's say /mysqlbackup/backups) and my website at /usr/local/apache/htdocs and below.
I figured it would be a best practice NOT to use a root login but to... (0 Replies)

nisbackup(1M) System Administration Commands nisbackup(1M)NAME
nisbackup - backup NIS+ directories
SYNOPSIS
nisbackup [-v] backup-dir directory...
nisbackup [-v] -a backup-dir
DESCRIPTION
nisbackup backs up a NIS+ directory object on a NIS+ master server. Updates to the NIS+ database will be temporarily disabled while nis-
backup is running. The backup-dir is a UNIX directory that must exist prior to running nisbackup. The nisbackup command can be used to
backup an individual NIS+ directory object or all ( -a) of the NIS+ directory objects served by a master server. The NIS+ directory
objects being backed up will be placed into subdirectories under the backup-dir directory. These subdirectories are named according to
the NIS+ directory object they contain. nisbackup operates on individual NIS+ directory objects (for example, org_dir.wiz.com). This
allows an administrator to selectively backup specific directories.
The rpc.nisd(1M) process must be running on the master server with a stable NIS+ database for nisbackup to complete. nisbackup will not
attempt to correct any corruption in the NIS+ database, so it is important that backups be done regularly as part of the NIS+ administra-
tion.
The first synopsis is used to backup a single NIS+ directory object or a list of NIS+ directory objects. The objects can be partially qual-
ified or fully qualified. The machine on which the command is executing must be the master for the NIS+ directory objects specified.
The second synopsis will backup all of the NIS+ directory objects that are served by this master. The -a option is the recommended method
of backing up a master server, since it will backup all NIS+ directory objects that are served by this master. If this server is a master
server for more than one domain, the backup will include NIS+ directories that belong to all of the domains served. Individual NIS+ direc-
tory objects can be selected for restoring from a backup-dir created with the -a option. See nisrestore(1M).
The -a option only includes directory objects for which this server is the master. It is possible, but not recommended, to configure a
master server as a replica for other domains. The objects belonging to those replicated domains will not be backed up with the -a option.
The backup of replicated objects must be run on the master server for those objects.
Do not use the same backup-dir to backup different master servers. Each master server must have its own backup-dir.
nisbackup will set the rpc.nisd(1M) to read only mode, which will disable updates to the NIS+ database. This is neccessary to ensure the
consistency of the backup. For this reason, nisbackup should not be run while large numbers of updates are being applied to the NIS+ data-
base. Update utilities such as nisaddent(1M) should not be run simultaneously with nisbackup.
OPTIONS -a Creates a backup of all NIS+ directory objects for which this server is a master.
-v Verbose option. Additional output will be produced and sent to syslog(3C) upon execution of the command (see syslog.conf(4)).
OPERANDS
backup-dir The directory into which the subdirectories containing the backed up objects are placed. This must be created prior to
running nisbackup.
directory The NIS+ directory object(s) being backed up.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Backup of the org_dir NIS+ directory object of the domain foo.com on a master server to a directory named /backup
To backup the org_dir NIS+ directory object of the domain foo.com on a master server to a directory named /backup:
master_server# nisbackup /backup org_dir.foo.com.
Example 2: Backup of the entire NIS+ domain foo.com to a directory named /backup
To backup the entire NIS+ domain foo.com to a directory named /backup:
master_server# nisbackup /backup foo.com.
org_dir.foo.com. groups_dir.foo.com.
ctx_dir.foo.com.
Example 3: Backup of an entire NIS+ database to a backup directory named /backup
To backup an entire NIS+ database to a backup directory named /backup:
master_server# nisbackup -a /backup
EXIT STATUS
0 Successful completion.
1 An error occurred.
