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:
I then manually copy the file from each directory, the .sh, .ksh, .sql, .log etc. to each directory, then I do below.
Code:
cd /u02
tar -cvf bak.tar ./bak
gzip bak,tar
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)

Alright, I feel like I have a pretty good basic knowledge of shell scripting, but this one is throwing me for a loop. I know I've seen something similar done with awk, but I couldn't find it with the search function.

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql
MYSQL_TZINFO_TO_S(1) MySQL Database System MYSQL_TZINFO_TO_S(1)NAME
mysql_tzinfo_to_sql - load the time zone tables
SYNOPSIS
mysql_tzinfo_to_sql arguments
DESCRIPTION
The mysql_tzinfo_to_sql program loads the time zone tables in the mysql database. It is used on systems that have a zoneinfo database (the
set of files describing time zones). Examples of such systems are Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Mac OS X. One likely location for these
files is the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory (/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo on Solaris). If your system does not have a zoneinfo database, you can
use the downloadable package described in Section 9.6, "MySQL Server Time Zone Support".
mysql_tzinfo_to_sql can be invoked several ways:
shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_dir
shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_file tz_name
shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql --leap tz_file
For the first invocation syntax, pass the zoneinfo directory path name to mysql_tzinfo_to_sql and send the output into the mysql program.
For example:
shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root mysql
mysql_tzinfo_to_sql reads your system's time zone files and generates SQL statements from them. mysql processes those statements to load
the time zone tables.
The second syntax causes mysql_tzinfo_to_sql to load a single time zone file tz_file that corresponds to a time zone name tz_name:
shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_file tz_name | mysql -u root mysql
If your time zone needs to account for leap seconds, invoke mysql_tzinfo_to_sql using the third syntax, which initializes the leap second
information. tz_file is the name of your time zone file:
shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql --leap tz_file | mysql -u root mysql
After running mysql_tzinfo_to_sql, it is best to restart the server so that it does not continue to use any previously cached time zone
data.
