script for backup
you are doing from the local server.
create one file like(ex: dir-login-ip.txt) -->enter remote servers which u need to take backup
192.168.1.11:/opt/
192.168.1.12:/etc/samba /etc/squid
...................

This is the main backup script.
cd /mnt/backup
export backupdir=backup-$(date +%y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S)
mkdir /mnt/backup/$backupdir -->where backup is stored with backup date
export datadir=/mnt/backup/$backupdir

cd /home/users/backup/ -->here the main script and dir-login-ip.txt file exists
export IFS=":"
while read server directory
do
export FILE="${datadir}/${server}.gz"
ssh -n $server "sudo tar -c ${directory} |gzip -9" > "$FILE"
echo "Done backup from $server to $FILE on `date`"
done < dir-login-ip.txt

if u dont want to enter passwords for the remote machine u should create password less login by using ssh-keygen.

bbackupd-config

BBACKUPD-CONFIG(8)						    Box Backup							BBACKUPD-CONFIG(8)

NAME

       bbackupd-config - Box Backup client daemon configuration file generator

SYNOPSIS

       bbackupd-config config-dir backup-mode account-num server-hostname working-dir backup-dir [backup-dir ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The bbackupd-config script creates configuration files and client certificates. It takes at least six parameters:

       config-dir
	   Configuration directory. Usually /etc/box.

       backup-mode
	   Either lazy or snapshot.

       account-num
	   The client account number. This is set by the bbstored administrator.

       server-hostname
	   The hostname or IP address of the bbstored server.

       working-dir
	   A directory to keep temporary state files. This is usually something like /var/bbackupd. This can be changed in bbackupd.conf later on
	   if required.

       backup-dir
	   A space-separated list of directories to be backed up. Note that this does not traverse mount points.

FILES

       /etc/box/bbackupd.conf

       /etc/box/bbackupd/NotifySysAdmin.sh

SEE ALSO

       bbackupd.conf(5), bbackupd(8), bbackupctl(8)
