I will name folders this way : DD-MM-YYYY (07-06-2011 for today).
They will contain a backup of the day.
I want, in my backup script, add a command that will automatically delete folders that are a week old (in this case, when performing the backup of this day, this will delete the folder named 31-05-2011).
How do I do that ? Or, at least, how do I determine which folder is a week old ?
(Note that the folder names are not definitive and can be named the way it is easier to detect the date)
I need a script that will replace all occurances of a string in all filenames and foldernames, recursively.
Right now I have this script:
for f in `find -name *eye*`; do
echo processing $f
g=`expr "xxx$f" : 'xxx\(.*\)' | tr 'eye' 'm'`
mv "$f" "$g"
done
The problem is that tr... (2 Replies)
Hi. You may know how to detect when a interruption succeeded programming in C. Just like receiving a signal without blocking. Knowing when it was a keystroke (IRQ 2), or a mouse movement (12), or a disk access, etc. and getting actually for example the letter typed.
Thanks a lot. (7 Replies)

backintime
backintime(1) USER COMMANDS backintime(1)NAME
backintime - a simple backup tool for Linux.
This is command line tool. The graphical tools are: backintime-gnome and backintime-kde4.
SYNOPSIS
backintime [ --backup | --backup-job | --snapshots-path | --snapshots-list | --snapshots-list-path | --last-snapshot | --last-snapshot-path
| --help | --version | --license ]
DESCRIPTION
Back In Time is a simple backup tool for Linux. The backup is done by taking snapshots of a specified set of folders.
All you have to do is configure: where to save snapshots, what folders to backup. You can also specify a backup schedule: disabled, every
5 minutes, every 10 minutes, every hour, every day, every week, every month. To configure it use one of the graphical interfaces available
(backintime-gnome or backintime-kde4).
It acts as a 'user mode' backup tool. This means that you can backup/restore only folders you have write access to (actually you can backup
read-only folders, but you can't restore them).
If you want to run it as root you need to use 'su'.
A new snapshot is created only if something changed since the last snapshot (if any).
A snapshot contains all the files from the selected folders (except for exclude patterns). In order to reduce disk space it use hard-links
(if possible) between snapshots for unchanged files. This way a file of 10Mb, unchanged for 10 snapshots, will use only 10Mb on the disk.
When you restore a file 'A', if it already exists on the file system it will be renamed to 'A.backup.currentdate'.
For automatic backup it use 'cron' so there is no need for a daemon, but 'cron' must be running.
user-callback
During backup process the application can call a user callback at different steps. This callback is "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/backintime/user-
callback" (by default $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is ~/.config).
The first argument is the progile id (1=Main Profile, ...).
The second argument is the progile name.
The third argument is the reason:
1 Backup process begins.
2 Backup process ends.
3 A new snapshot was taken. The extra arguments are snapshot ID and snapshot path.
4 There was an error. The second argument is the error code.
Error codes:
1 The application is not configured.
2 A "take snapshot" process is already running.
3 Can't find snapshots folder (is it on a removable drive ?).
4 A snapshot for "now" already exist.
OPTIONS -b, --backup

--backup-job
