Advice on a backup script, maybe one is out there already?
Hi,
Not sure whether this is the right place to post it. I decided to post it here 'coz Advanced and Expert users will most likely have the answer to what I am looking for.
I want to backup scripts that I have access to to a tar file file and zip it. At the moment I am creating a directory that sort of mimic the directory structure that contains the file that I want to backup.
For example, the source directory make look like this:
And at the moment, I am creating a backup directory script that look like below:
I then manually copy the file from each directory, the .sh, .ksh, .sql, .log etc. to each directory, then I do below.
As you may have guess, this takes a loooong time So I am wanting to know if someone can recommend a short process that will more or less give the same result.
In its simplest form, I want to find files of .sh, .ksh, .sql and other file types tar them to a file and gzip the tar file. I only want to find files that I have permission to. Yeah, some of the files are root owned and I do get permission denied when I am doing the cp manually
Kinda hoping that maybe someone had done a similar thing of what I am trying to do, preferably a script. Any advice will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Every day we back up all files on our system that are older than 7 days, so effectively we do a day's worth at a time.
The way we do this is to issue a find command using mtime +7 - we then loop round and for each result we issue a MV to move the file to a newly created directory. We then TAR the... (20 Replies)

mysql_fix_privilege_tables
MYSQL_FIX_PRIVILE(1) MySQL Database System MYSQL_FIX_PRIVILE(1)NAME
mysql_fix_privilege_tables - upgrade MySQL system tables
SYNOPSIS
mysql_fix_privilege_tables --password=root_password
DESCRIPTION
Note
In MySQL 5.1.7, mysql_fix_privilege_tables was superseded by mysql_upgrade, which should be used instead. See mysql_upgrade(1).
Some releases of MySQL introduce changes to the structure of the system tables in the mysql database to add new privileges or support new
features. When you update to a new version of MySQL, you should update your system tables as well to make sure that their structure is up
to date. Otherwise, there might be capabilities that you cannot take advantage of.
mysql_fix_privilege_tables is an older script that previously was used to uprade the system tables in the mysql database after a MySQL
upgrade.
Before running mysql_fix_privilege_tables, make a backup of your mysql database.
On Unix or Unix-like systems, update the system tables by running the mysql_fix_privilege_tables script:
shell> mysql_fix_privilege_tables
You must run this script while the server is running. It attempts to connect to the server running on the local host as root. If your root
account requires a password, indicate the password on the command line like this:
shell> mysql_fix_privilege_tables --password=root_password
The mysql_fix_privilege_tables script performs any actions necessary to convert your system tables to the current format. You might see
some Duplicate column name warnings as it runs; you can ignore them.
After running the script, stop the server and restart it so that any changes made to the system tables take effect.
On Windows systems, MySQL distributions include a mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql SQL script that you can run using the mysql client. For
example, if your MySQL installation is located at C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.1, the commands look like this:
C:> cd "C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.1"
C:> binmysql -u root -p mysql
mysql> SOURCE share/mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql
Note
Prior to version 5.1.17, the mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql script is found in the scripts directory.
The mysql command will prompt you for the root password; enter it when prompted.
If your installation is located in some other directory, adjust the path names appropriately.
As with the Unix procedure, you might see some Duplicate column name warnings as mysql processes the statements in the
mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql script; you can ignore them.
After running the script, stop the server and restart it.
