the problem I end up with is that if I use a *.rrd, the source directory becomes part of the $FILE.
Code:
/backup/cacti_xml.sh: line 9: /backpu/cacti_xml//var/www/html/rra/rg100_traffic_in_1108.rrd.xml: No such file or directory
That is why I was thinking of cleaning up the whole 'cd' to directory, and then do stuff. I don't think it's necessary, and I don't know how to strip the /var/www/html/rra out of the $FILE variable so that when it writes the xml to /backup/cacti_xml, it won't include all of this information.
In that case do this.
Code:
for FILE in `cd sourceDir ; ls -1 *.rrd`
do
rrdtool dump "$FILE" > "/path/to/$FILE.xml"
done

Thanks for the all the help last evening on CRON jobs. It's now working.
Is it possible with cron to save a backup of a file to a different server or location? The idea being that if one host goes arse over tit, I'll have a backup of the DB on another server?
Many thanks,
